Do accepted asylum seekers automatically become citizens of the asylum country?
No, accepted asylum seekers do not automatically become citizens of the asylum country. While they are granted protection and allowed to stay in the country due to fear of persecution in their home country, they must go through a separate process to become a citizen. This process usually involves meeting certain residency requirements, passing language and citizenship tests, and demonstrating good conduct.

Voices from the Asylum : West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum
Almost forgotten by time, tucked away beyond the sight of the passerby, there is a little piece of old England, which was for many years a forgotten wilderness.If it were not for a weather-beaten plaque on the gatepost few would realise that beyond the rusted gates there lies, in unmarked paupers’ graves, 2,861 former patients of the once formidable Menston Asylum. To be admitted to a lunatic asylum in the nineteenth century was fraught with danger, and in many cases meant a life sentence hidden away from society.It is estimated as many as 30 per cent of the asylum population was incarcerated incorrectly and up until 1959 there was no form of appeal. Looking into the faces of the long dead, the forgotten former inmates of this once bustling institution, it is impossible not to feel a certain sadness at their plight.Abandoned by an intolerant society and their families these people all had one thing in common, when death came there was no one to shed a tear or collect their remains.They were given a pauper’s funeral and forgotten, until now.

I, Little Asylum
A lyrical account of a childhood spent in a castle disguised as a psychiatric clinic, written by the daughter of Felix Guattari. A moment later, Lacan is chattering with me, and giving me some crayons to draw with. -from I, Little AsylumFounded in 1951 and renowned in the world of psychiatry, the experimental psychiatric clinic of La Borde sought to break with the traditional internment of the mentally ill and to have them participate in the material organization of collective life.The clinic owed much of its approach to psychoanalyst and philosopher Felix Guattari, who was its codirector with Jean Oury until 1992.In this lyrical chronicle of a childhood at La Borde, Felix Guattari's daughter Emanuelle Guattari offers a series of impressionistic vignettes drawn from her own experiences.As a child whose parents worked in the clinic, Emanuelle Guattari ("Manou") experienced La Borde-which is housed in a castle in the middle of a spacious park-as a place not of confinement but of imagination and play.She evokes a landscape that is surreal but also mundane, describing the fat monkey named Boubou her father kept at the clinic, interactions between the "La Borde kids" and the "Residents" (aka, the "Insane," feared by the locals), the ever fascinating rainbow-hued "shit pit" on the grounds, and prank-calls to the clinic switchboard. And, of course, there is Felix Guattari himself, at the dinner table, battling a rat, and in his daughter's dreams.Emmanuelle Guattari's tale of childlike wonder offers a poetic counterpoint to the writings of her father and his intellectual circle.

It is important to uphold international laws and agreements that protect the rights of asylum seekers and ensure their safety and well-being.
