When this practice is carried out at a wide-scale, indiscriminately and for prolonged periods it becomes very costly and no longer a good value for the money invested; no matter how well resources have been managed. Detention therefore should not be Greece&#8217; main policy tool; it can only offer a limited and last resort solution when all other more cost-effective alternatives of a comprehensive strategy have been exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>There are effective and less costly alternatives that Greece must explore before investing further in a policy with doubtful outcomes. Alternatives that have been successfully applied in other countries include: Screening and assessment of individual cases, Investment in early legal advice, Expansion of alternative surveillance schemes, Investment in open accommodations, Expansion of return counseling programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors<\/strong>: Danai Angeli, Anna Triandafyllidou<\/p>\n<p><strong>MIDAS Policy Brief<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Policy-brief_the-case-study-of-Amygdaleza-.pdf\">Policy brief: The case study of Amygdaleza Pre-removal Center<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The problem with detention is that every time a State deprives a person from his\/her freedom, it takes on the responsibility to cater for all of that person&#8217;s needs.
