## Resource

What does it actually take for a detention system to qualify as a "concentration camp" — historically, not emotionally? In this episode of The Raid, host John Carlos Frey sets aside the online shouting match and applies the definition historians actually use: mass detention of civilians, without due process or trial, based on identity rather than conduct — a framework traced back to camps in 1890s Cuba and South Africa, and used by researchers like journalist Andrea Pitzer. This isn't about winning an argument online. It's about being precise with a word that carries real historical weight — and deciding, with the facts in front of you, whether it applies - and it does. https://theraidpodcast.org/ One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps: https://andreapitzer.com/home/ https://luskin.ucla.edu/new-analysis-reveals-sharp-rise-in-ice-detention-of-immigrants-with-no-criminal-convictions https://www.hrw.org/report/2026/06/25/dying-in-detention/rising-deaths-in-an-expanding-us-immigration-detention-system Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
