Abstract(s)
Inspired by a community psychology ecological perspective, this
chapter addresses migration-related detention as part of that set of practices
implemented by the EU and the Schengen Area to ensure internal security
by strengthening external borders control. In particular, it focuses on the
Italian context. Starting from a historical overview of the Italian legal and
policy framework on migration, a critical analysis of the rationale for migrant
detention and deportation is developed, highlighting the business interests
at stake. In this regard, the concept of immigration industrial complex is
utilized, emphasizing its similarities with the military and prison industrial
complexes. Finally, the case of an Italian migration-related detention center
is illustrated. We argue for the use of ecological multilevel analysis to grasp
the complexity of these sites of confinement, and shed light on the forces
and interests that revolve around them. Alternatives are advocated based on
freedom and justice for all.
