Last December, I was on the London Underground when an ad from the Government of Ireland caught my attention: “The Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme is open for applications.” I assumed it was something like a truth-and-reconciliation effort, reaching out to people abroad who had been harmed in the past. But when I began looking into what these institutions actually were—places where…

Asylum centers are ripe for conflict. Residents share crowded spaces with those they do not know or speak the same language. Often traumatized and sometimes alone, they try to navigate the asylum process. It is also difficult for the employees to try to assist the residents when they do not understand the structure and the process, let alone ensure compliance. In this picture, an asylum center in…
