Refugee camps are among the most prevalent institutional responses to global displacement. Despite a quasi consensus among scholars, activists, and humanitarians that camps are undesirable, and should only ever be temporary, little work has charted the political project and practices of camp abolition that challenge their spatial unfreedom. Rather than life-supporting spatial technologies of care that unwittingly signal political failures of inclusion, camps form part of a calculated system of “carceral humanitarianism”. This article draws on experiences from Kenya where aid interventions have shaped politics, social dynamics and economic life since the 1990s. Kakuma camp and Kalobeyei settlement serve as empirical windows to explore the limits of institutional decampment and reform policies, while demonstrating that more radical, abolitionist struggles are enacted through everyday mobilisation and acts of fugitivity among refugees themselves. Advancing critical studies of humanitarianism and forced migration, this article contends that only abolishing camps and their carceral logics helps to build more viable, safe, and humane futures for people on the move.

营地废除：结束肯尼亚（及其他地区）的监狱人道主义

难民营是对全球流离失所最普遍的制度性反应之一。尽管学者、活动家和人道主义者一致认为集中营是不可取的，而且应该只是暂时的，但很少有工作为废除集中营的政治项目和实践制定了蓝图这挑战了他们的空间不自由。营地不是在不知不觉中表明包容性政治失败的维持生命的空间护理技术，而是构成“监狱人道主义”计算系统的一部分。本文借鉴了肯尼亚的经验，自 1990 年代以来，援助干预已经塑造了政治、社会动态和经济生活。Kakuma 难民营和 Kalobeyei 定居点作为探索机构撤离和改革政策局限性的经验窗口，同时表明通过难民本身的日常动员和逃亡行为，实施了更激进的废奴主义斗争。本文推进对人道主义和强迫移民的批判性研究，认为只有废除集中营及其监禁逻辑有助于建立更可行、更安全、
