It is shaped by inforced waiting, inaction and isolation in a place that is usually far from the cultural and social life of the centers of the cities. In common it is situated in some industrial suburbia or a temporary cottage in the middle of nowhere. Under inhumane conditions many imigrants have to suffer the long and devastating trials in which 99 % of all asked applications for political asylum are rejected. These trials last a long time.
