Immigrants and refugees are locked up in detention centers all over the world. According to multiple reports, many detainees are subjected to physical and sexual abuse, as well as forced labor.

The Global Detention Project maintains a database of international detention practices and advocates for those who are detained.

Freedom For Immigrants focuses on the United States, which has the largest detention system in the world. Its map of detentions in the U.S. depicts how vast our detention system is—how it is spread throughout the country, and how it is not just confined to the border. Freedom For Immigrants also offers opportunities to help.

Close The Camps is another organization focused on ending the detention system in the United States.
