However, they cannot leave the center on their own initiative.   <\/p><p>In France, the maximum duration of administrative detention is 90 days.<\/p><p>Since 2017, the number of places available in the CRAs has risen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,869. In accordance with the French Ministry of the Interior&#8217;s Orientation and Programming Act (LOPMI), the goal is to reach 3,000 places by 2027. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s the difference between administrative retention and detention?<\/strong><\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Administrative detention<\/strong> is a measure involving deprivation of liberty taken by the authorities to organize the expulsion of a foreigner in an irregular situation.<\/li><li><strong>Detention<\/strong> is a sentence imposed by a court following a criminal conviction.<\/li><\/ul><p>A detainee in a CRA is not a prisoner: he or she has not committed a criminal offence, but is in an irregular situation.
