When you arrive as a refugee, you are effectively treated as a prisoner. You are not allowed to move freely, you are not allowed to earn money, you often can't even cook for yourself. People who arrive in such situations are usually stuck in these places for years. It's a totally dehumanising existence.
I don't know if it is intended that way, like a deterrent, but it sure seems like a punishment. These people were just trying to leave the hell of their home countries and find something better for their families. Often the horrors they are fleeing are a consequence of the former meddlings of actors from Western states. And look at how we in the West treat them when they come as a final resort.
