machine, a bag search, walking through a metal detector, and for some, a body search. An IHR client described the body search: They do that to everyone. It makes me feel embarrassed and very very bad, it is shameful. Once you pass the machine, they start checking you and tell. They touch your bra, they feel inside the bra. (14) The invasiveness of this search contributes to how people describe being treated as criminals and may discourage leaving the CCAC. Every Tuesday in the camp, a census is taken from early in the morning. People must partake in the census before they can leave the CCAC. Resident S describes waiting in the census: It starts at eight and goes on until evening. People stand in line from 8am till 4pm and wait on a first-come-first-served basis. S. asks: Why is this done every week and why not every month or even every three months? Is it that they do not have records of the asylum seekers coming and going from the camp? (39) As asked by S, the proportionality of a weekly census is questionable considering that people can only enter and exit the CCAC through scanning their fingerprints and showing identification documents. © Romy van Baarsen_ Romy Aimee Photography 15
