Abstract
Over the past few decades, immigration detention has become increasingly used as a way to manage migration flows,1 despite international law clearly stating that it should only be used as a last resort2–4 and that children should never be detained.3,5 As a fundamental human right, health is important for everyone, including refugees and migrants. Immigration detention has negative impacts on physical and mental health and on families and communities as a whole.1 It is crucial to address the health challenges in immigration detention, mitigate the negative effects of such detention, and identify alternative approaches to detention.
