Unfortunately, conditions of detention in most countries fall below international human rights standards. In fact, administrative detainees around the world often receive less protection, both relating to the procedures governing their detention and the conditions of detention, than persons pending criminal trial or those who have been convicted of a crime. For example, access to legal counsel is sporadic or non-existent in many places. Administrative detainees often do not receive information in a language and a manner that they can understand on the reasons for their detention and their rights while detained. Most are kept in overcrowded, unhygienic conditions, sometimes with convicted criminals. In many countries, children are detained without being provided an opportunity to go to school. Men and women are sometimes held in the same facilities while, conversely, families may be split and held in separate facilities.
