According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Germany has 573 deportation detention places, significantly fewer than in other European countries.

This emerges from a response from the ministry to the request of the FDP's migration policy spokesperson, Linda Teuteberg, which WELT AM SONNTAG has received.

According to this, France had around 1,900 places in 2019, the United Kingdom even 2,500 deportation detention places and the Netherlands 690 places.

Teuteberg therefore speaks of a “grotesque disproportion”: “In view of the 276,000 people required to leave the country, the expansion of deportation detention capacities is taking place far too slowly.” The federal government must “demand more from the federal states to meet their responsibilities, and otherwise work towards federal responsibility for repatriation ".

Detention pending deportation is primarily seen as a last resort in order to detain migrants who attempt to evade repatriation until they leave the country.

According to the law, this form of arrest must be strictly separated from criminal detention.

In the deportation prison the prisoner has more freedom than in a prison.

Among other things, he may wear his own clothing, receive and send mail, receive visitors and use the Internet and telephone.
