[Tagging] internment camps, prisons, refugee sites etc.

Trying to find suitable tags for internment camps, it seemed we do not have
anything established:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=internment#values

Although the physical place may resemble a prison, I believe such sites
should get distinct tagging from prisons to avoid confusion.

First idea was amenity=internment_camp, but this would be unfortunate as it
would not allow to combine the tag with other tags, e.g.
amenity=refugee_site, so maybe man_made=internment_camp would be more
suitable?

Are you aware of established tagging for places where people are held
against their will, without accusations or trial, and which may be operated
by the military, but also not?

Cheers,
Martin
