See: Immigration detention in Europe: What are the facts? A new European Migration Network Study (EU Law Analysis, link) and see: EMN Study (pdf):

"Placing migrant in detention may aim at compelling him to collaborate with authorities in view of obtaining travel documents or agreeing to return voluntarily. The use of detention for such criminal-like purposes appears to be beneficial for States, while at the same time makes non-citizens more vulnerable to abuses."

Our work is only possible with your support.
