They may not leave the camp. There are barb-wire fences and guards. They not there as punishment, but they are literally being detained; hence "detention camp".

They may not leave the camp to roam freely and without any documentation in Greece -- but they are free to go back to where they came from. Not everyone in the camps is a poor honest refugee who is fleeing war.

In some cases, yes, in some cases no. Many of those in the camp came from Turkey, and they often lack a legal way to travel back to Turkey from Greece.

I guess you are correct in that sense. It's a tough subject to discuss in the open so better to stay mute.
