In Köpenick würden Menschen zu häufig und zu lange festgehalten. So habe sich seit dem Jahr 2001 die durchschnittliche Haftdauer von 17 auf bis zu 50 Tage erhöht. In Stadelheim säßen immer zwischen 45 und 130 Abschiebehäftlinge.
Refugee initiatives of churches and welfare associations criticised the long terms of custody to secure deportations to which undocumented refugees are subjected to in Berlin (in the district of Köpenick) and Munich (in Stadelheim). At Köpenick, persons would be detained to often and for terms too long. Since 2001, for instance, the average prison terms have increased from 17 to up to 50 days. In the detention centre of Stadelheim, the number of inmates facing deportation would constantly range between 45 and 130. Most of the detainees would be subjected to the same restrictions as criminal inmates are: no access to telephones to talk to lawyers or family members, one hour of yard exercises per day, in most cases only one or two hours of visiting times per month; and every night, the lights are switched off at 10 p.m. According to an estimation of the refugee service of the Jesuits, 20,000 to 30,000 refugees would be taken into custody to secure deportation in Germany every year. Barbara Lochbichler, secretary-general of amnesty international, considered it completely unacceptable that particularly vulnerable persons such as minors, pregnant women and single parents would be still taken into custody.

Die Haftzeit in speziellen Hafteinrichtungen soll dabei so kurz wie möglich gehalten werden, in der Regel jedoch sechs Monate nicht überschreiten. Bei Prozessverzögerungen kann die Haftdauer allerdings auch auf 18 Monate ausgeweitet werden.
On 18 June 2008, the European Parliament (EP) has adopted in Strasbourg the EU Return Directive and has thus accepted the compromise on the dealing with irregular migrants negotiated between the Rapporteur of the EP and Member of the European Parliament (MoEP), Manfred Weber (CSU), and the Council of Ministers. This means a further step towards the harmonisation of the EU migration policy. The core elements of the Directive are as follows: The Member States are to grant irregulars in future a period of seven to 30 days during which they can voluntarily return to their country of origin. Only such persons are to be taken into custody whose deportation can also be legally enforced. In doing so, the period of custody in special detention centres is to be kept as short as possible and should normally not exceed six months. If legal proceedings are delayed, however, custody can also be extended up to a period of 18 months. In the case of infringements of the obligation to return, a five-year ban to re-enter the EU is to be issued. Critics of the Directive such as refugee relief organisations and political mandate holders consider the possible custody period of 18 months to secure deportation of illegals and in particular of minors as too long. Karl Kopp, German spokesman of the European umbrella organisation European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE), said that even today there would be an "excessive interpretation of the acts governing asylum". The implementation of the compromise would set a disastrous standard and constituted an infringement of human rights. The chairman of the Liberals in the European Parliament, Graham Watson, stressed, however, that the EU in its entirety committed itself for the first time to comply with certain minimum standards when dealing with illegals. Refugees were given now also the possibility to claim a number of rights. Now, the Member States have a 24 month"s time to transpose the Directive into national law.
