An open detention facility is a facility which typically has lower security measures than closed detention facilities. Individuals can be incarcerated in these facilities from the beginning of their sentence. It is designed to facilitate the reintegration of people in detention into society by providing a less restrictive environment. Incarcerated people have more freedom of movement within and outside the facility, for example being able to leave in function of work or school. However, concrete arrangements depend on the facility, the target group and national rules of the respective country.
