Abstract
HighlightsIn spite of concerns about migration‐related detention, research inside these sites of confinement is scarce.We present an ethnographic exploration into the detention of illegalized non‐citizens in Italy.Transcending individual‐centered analysis, we adopt an ecological framework with a focus on justice.We contribute to create knowledge on the psychosocial and cultural world behind the walls of detention.We discuss the oppressive qualities of detention and avenues for research and action for community psychologists.
