Parte del sistema español de acogida e internamiento. Las cifras se describen de forma neutral a partir de la fuente citada; las coordenadas marcadas como «aproximadas» son estimaciones a nivel de municipio. La mayor parte de la capacidad de acogida española se presta mediante acción concertada, en pisos alquilados y dispersos que no tienen dirección pública: no se cartografían domicilios. Cualquier acusación contra una entidad citada se recoge como procedimiento en curso, no como hecho probado.
