Despite the increasing scholarly attention to immigration detention around the globe, relatively little is known about life and the lived experiences of the people inside these sites of confinement.

In 2015, refugees moved in large numbers over large distances, from the South to the North, and they had to risk their lives to do so. The lack of political coherence in Europe when coping with these arrivals nearly led to a breakdown of the entire EU.
