Dear translators,
I have searched all over the internet, but cannot find the proper English translation of the word "grenshospitium" anywhere. Here is the context (it is about judicial buildings in Schiphol):
Het programma bestaat uit een voorgebouw met onder meer een rechtbank, en een besloten gebied met verschillende woongebouwen voor de Immigratie en Naturalisatie Dienst (aanmeldcentrum) en de Dienst Justitiele Inrichtingen (grenshospitium, uitzetcentrum en huis van bewaring).
The only thing I found was "refugee centre", but that could also be a place where refugees are housed. A "grenshospitium" is a place where refugees have to stay while they await deportation. Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance,
C.

migrant detention centre
such a detention centre is not necessarily meant for refugees, but includes immigrants, and is also not necessarily at a border.
Discussion
'Dienst Justitiele Inrichtingen (grenshospitium, uitzetcentrum en huis van bewaring)'
If you have nothing better to do you might give Schiphol a call and ask them what the difference is between them all.
PS: uitzetcentrum = removal centre; deportation centre (JurLex again)
grenshospitium (detention centre at Amsterdam Airport for asylum seekers and illegal immigrants awaiting removal)
