Commentary :
This ethnographic research undertaken in France and Spain seeks:
To describe the place of health within Retention Centers for
those unauthorized foreigners over whom hangs a deportation
order because of their situation of administrative irregularity
To shed light on the risk management media within these
institutions for the confinement of non-authorized migrants.
To analyze the role of health professionals as regards the
application of the politics of borders control and the
management of non-authorized immigration
