What type of facility this is

Immigration detention centers hold foreign nationals administratively, not as a criminal penalty, while their immigration status or removal is being resolved. They are not equivalent to a prison: their regime, time limits and the rights of the people held depend on each country's immigration law.

In the United States, prisons are run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (federal prisons), each state's department of corrections, and county sheriffs' offices and local governments (jails).

Knowing the category helps you understand what to expect: the regime, who may visit and the procedures that apply vary depending on the type of facility and the country.
