Semi-carceral facilities accommodating irregular migrants are designed to be hostile spaces that expose people to substandard conditions and keep them on the move, detached from wider society.

Last year I spent 6 months in the Mediterranean w/ @MSF. After being rescued, most people had the same thing to say: "I prefer to die in the sea than return to Libya". I put together an interactive story trying to explain through people's stories... 1/2 player.slices.co/stories/-NK…
