Detentionits

Detentionits are proponents of detention-focused policy approaches, a term used in policy debates to describe individuals or groups who regard detention as a central instrument for handling security, immigration, or criminal justice concerns. The concept envisions detention facilities, administrative detention, and related enforcement measures as primary responses to perceived threats, with an emphasis on prompt processing and deterrence.

Origins and usage: The term detentionits is not widely standardized; it has appeared in academic articles, think-tank reports, and media commentary to label supporters of detention-centric policy. There is no single organization or movement universally recognized as detentionits.

Policy positions: Detentionits advocate expanded detention authority, mandatory detention for asylum seekers or suspects, time limits on detention, the use of detention centers or residential facilities, rapid adjudication processes, and sometimes privatization or outsourcing of detention services.

Criticism and debate: Critics argue detention-centric approaches undermine due process and human rights, risk prolonged or indefinite detention, and disproportionately affect migrants, refugees, and marginalized communities. Proponents respond that detention improves border control, accountability, and case resolution efficiency.
