What does Canadian immigration prison mean?

Canadian Immigration Prison is a kind of shelter managed by Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA), which is mainly aimed at foreigners who have no Canadian status, are sentenced to illegal residence or are suspected of violating immigration laws. These people may be waiting to be deported, or awaiting trial or applying for asylum. The purpose of Canadian immigration prison is to ensure that these people will not escape, their life safety and human rights will be protected, and the prison will provide them with basic living conditions and conduct judicial procedures.

Canadian immigration prisons are very different from ordinary prisons. It's more like a detention center. Unlike ordinary prisons, Canadian immigration prisons are not used to punish criminals, but to control foreigners who cannot legally stay in Canada. The prison is relatively loose, but it is not a "beautiful island". There are internal regulations and safety measures, and the staff will also conduct necessary supervision and interrogation.

There are still some problems in Canadian immigration prisons. For example, in the past, immigrants died in prisons, mostly because of health problems and prison management. Prisons have also been criticized by some people in society, who think that prisons do not pay enough attention to and respect human rights for the lives of foreigners who cannot legally stay in Canada. Therefore, since 2008, the Canadian government has reformed the management and system of prisons and improved the management and service quality. Some government officials, human rights organizations and inspectors also conduct regular supervision and inspection to ensure that the service and management level of prisons are more reasonable, humane and just.
