"Astorp is not a prison. Residents wear their own clothes; they are not locked in their rooms, told when to sleep, or ordered to follow a fixed daily schedule."
"Three former detainees complained of overcrowding, substandard food, poor ventilation, and inadequate treatment for mental health issues."
The Astorp detention centre in southern Sweden is not classified as a prison but operates under the Immigration Act. Detainees wear their own clothes and are not confined to their rooms. However, many former detainees report that it feels like a prison due to overcrowding, poor food quality, inadequate ventilation, and insufficient mental health treatment. New arrivals often face immediate transport to Copenhagen Airport, with some detainees remaining for extended periods, sometimes over a year.
