Inside Yarl's Wood: Britain's shame over child detainees

Inside Yarl's Wood: Britain's shame over child detainees



Emily Dugan on the shocking treatment of families in immigration centres

Children held in the infamous Yarl's Wood immigration detention centre are being denied urgent medical treatment, handled violently and left at risk of serious harm, a damning report by the Children's Commissioner for England will say tomorrow.

It is to Britain's shame that we are still imprisoning children. And to Serco's shame that the company is making profits out of children suffering.

I agree it is disgraceful. One of the novels I read recently covered this subject.
