detention policy
Holding procedure guidelines
A detention policy is a set of rules governing when and how people may be held in custody.
The term appears most often in two contexts: schools establishing guidelines for keeping students after hours as discipline, and governments setting procedures for detaining immigrants, asylum seekers, or other populations.
The administration's detention policy drew criticism from human rights groups.
