I don’t expect American detention centers will be any better.

We have 400 million guns and lots of gang bangers.

Suck it up. Maggots are one of the new protein sources.

The tennis community needs to step up. They should boycott the tournament and blacklist all Australian tennis players.

8 Jan: Sportskeeda: Andy Roddick feels it would be “rough” to ban Novak Djokovic for 3 years over visa confusion, says current situation “really sucks”
by Anshul Singh
According to the law, if Djokovic fails to have his visa cancellation overturned in court and gets deported, he could be banned from entering the country for up to three years...

7 Jan: Sports Illustrated: France Sports Minister Has Already Made Decision on Novak Djokovic, French Open
by MADELINE COLEMAN
France’s sports minister said on Friday that Novak Djokovic can play in this year’s French Open, even if he is not vaccinated for COVID-19...

However, Australian Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews recently told reporters that the tennis star “is free to leave at any time that he chooses to do so and Border Force will actually facilitate that.”
His father, Srdjan, says otherwise, speaking out in Serbian capital Belgrade per Sky Sports.
“He’s not in detention, he’s in prison,” he continued. “They took all of his stuff, even his wallet. They left him with just a phone and no change of clothes, nowhere to wash his face. He’s in prison, our pride is a prisoner of these idiots.”...

(France’s) Sports minister Roxana Mărăcineanu said that the International Tennis Federation protocols for major events meant unvaccinated individuals could compete in the Roland-Garros. Per Reuters, the country does not prevent unvaccinated people from entering the country; however, there are stricter protocols compared to those for vaccinated individuals...

yes he could leave like Voracova, see below, but allegedly that would be considered acceptance of the ruling and he would be banned from entering Australia for 3 years. some say this applies to Voracova as well, but Reuters doesn’t say. Australia should lose the right to host a tennis grand slam based on what has transpired so far:

9 Jan: Reuters: Tennis player Voracova left Australia after visa issues, Czech ministry says
Czech tennis player Renata Voracova left Australia on Saturday, the Czech Foreign Ministry said, after complications with visas that got her swept up in a furore over the handling of the country’s COVID-19 vaccine exemptions.

Voracova joined men’s number one Novak Djokovic in Australian immigration detention on Thursday, despite already having been allowed into the country and playing in a match before having her visa cancelled...

While Djokovic has challenged his visa cancellation, Voracova, a 38-year-old doubles specialist, decided to leave, telling Czech news site idnes.cz she would not challenge because of the time it would take to wait and not train ahead of the Australian Open later this month...

Voracova was unvaccinated but had an exemption after becoming ill with COVID-19 before Christmas, around the time she had planned to get vaccinated following last season’s end, she told idnes.cz...

She had entered the country and played in Melbourne earlier this week ahead of the Australian Open but was then detained in the same hotel as Djokovic...

And the only “detention” camp is in the Northern Territory near Darwin. This was a camp built for the 3000-5000 rotating Japanese, overseas, and Australian construction workers when they built the INPEX LNG facility which was completed in 2019 https://aecom.com/nz/projects/manigurr-ma-village

It was donated to the Northern Territory in 2019.

I have to admit it not up to Novak’s 5 star plus facilities, but it is a four star facility.
