A detainment camp is a large detention center created for political opponents, enemy aliens, people with mental illness, specific ethnic or religious groups, civilians of a critical war-zone, or other groups of people, usually during a war. The term is used for facilities where inmates selected according to some specific criteria, rather than individuals who are incarcerated after due process of law fairly applied by a judiciary. Much like a Concentration Camp.

You were arrested for shoplifting a few years ago but never charged Is this considered a detainment?

In general, "detainment" isn't a legal issue. Generally, even being "arrested" isn't an issue. According to the prevalent legal definition, detainment means, under security control, under suspicion BUT w/o proof. Under arrest, generally means some means of proof. You can be detained, basically at the wishes of the security forces, which is legal, but the conditions are not as stringent as an arrest. Only applies to my knowledge of US law.


What is class of crime in resisting detainment in Texas?

You can be DETAINED, if an officer has reason to believe that a crime has been committed or will be committed, and that you have direct involvement in the crime or information about it.You have not yet been charged with any crime, which also gives the officer time to investigate the matter. This investigation can include, but is not limited to, asking you questions and patting you down to search for weapons if he believes any may be present on you (see: Terry v. Ohio). Even being pulled over is considered detainment because the police officer is investigating whether or not you have committed a traffic violation.There is no delineated amount of time that a detainment can last so it can vary from situation to situation. However, most of the time you will be held for less than an hour.Generally, detainment requires a lesser amount of proof than an arrest, and is also less severe.In either instance, if you resist being detained or arrested, then the officer has the right to use force to apprehend you. Furthermore, resisting detainment is an offense, and even absent other circumstances, you can be arrested on the basis of your resistance alone.
