Concentration Camp
Internment is the imprisonment of people, commonly in large groups, without charges or intent to file charges. The term is especially used for the confinement "of enemy citizens in wartime or of terrorism suspects".

Interned persons may be held in prisons or in facilities known as internment camps (also known as concentration camps).
