Not all immigrants are sent to internment camps while waiting for trial. The judge may decide to handle the situation differently under special circumstances when dealing with family, arraigo social, or in cases where the foreigner proves to have lawful means of livlihood. In these cases, the police may adopt other precautionary measures in order to ensure previous objectives are seen through. In some cases for example officers may choose to take away the immigrant´s passport or official nationality document or, in other cases, may require the foreigner to periodically meet with an administrative authority before his trial date.
Immigrants may stay in an internment camp for a maximum of 40 days and may only re-enter if a new case file is opened.
