The Politics of Pain in Immigration Detention 1

Mary Bosworth

Summary: This paper reflects on the implication of the first complete data set of the 'Measure of the Quality of Life in Detention' (MQLD) survey in the UK for understanding and challenging immigration detention centers. Rather than interpreting the testimonies from people in detention as sociological statements of suffering due to the loss of liberty, the author proposes an alternative reading of them as political statements that demand a political response. Those detained within immigration removal centers (IRCs) argue that these centers fundamentally contradict key values of a liberal democracy. The pain described by the people illuminates the need for a new politics of detention.

A Surrogate State for Refugees in Greece

Manos Moschopoulos

Summary: The increasing number of refugees in Greece led to the most expensive humanitarian response in history. The European Commission funded international organizations to provide services, and the response followed a surrogate state model. This marginalized the Greek government and negatively impacted the quality of the response and the welfare of refugees.

Keeping migrants at the margins. Governing through ambiguity and the politics of discretion in the post-2015 EUropean migration and border regime

Karl Heyer

Summary: This article examines the roles of ambiguity and discretion in migration governance and how they contribute to the marginalization of migrants at the European borders. Through ethnographic research and case analyses, the article reveals the relationship between ambiguity and discretion, and their intersection with the reconfiguration processes of the European migration and border regime. This leads to the formation of spatio-juridical grey areas that foster the spatial and social marginalization of migrants in Europe.

Immigration detention as a routine police measure: Discretionary powers in preemptive detention of noncitizens in Finland

Jukka Kononen

Malleable detention: The restructuring of carceral space within US immigration detention

Luis A. Romero

Summary: This research introduces the concept of malleable detention, which refers to the flexible strategies and methods used by ICE to restructure space within immigration detention. Findings from the analysis of a specific detention center reveal three forms of malleable detention: repurposing non-detention space, maintaining flexibility in detained populations, and reconfiguring contracts. This concept provides evidence on how ICE is able to sustain enough detention space to make the U.S. the largest detainer of immigrants in the world.

From Exceptional Threats to Normalized Risks: Border Controls in the Schengen Area and the Governance of Secondary Movements of Migration

Lena Karamanidou et al.

Summary: This study analyses the motivations behind the reintroduction of border controls by Schengen member states and finds that migration and migratory movements have been framed as security issues in order to legitimize extended border controls. At the EU level, there is a shift from threat-based security to risk-based security. This shift undermines the principles of the Schengen area as a zone of free movement.

Substituting immigration detention centres with 'open prisons' in Indonesia: alternatives to detention as the continuum of unfreedom

Antje Missbach

Summary: This paper discusses Indonesia's shift from immigration detention to alternatives to detention, driven by Australian government's funding cuts to the International Organization for Migration. While alternatives are seen as more humane than detention centers, they still serve containment purposes and discriminate against newly arrived asylum seekers.
