It's where the images come from
Manston is a shortterm holding facility where immigration documents are issued and some detainees start the asylum screening process. The Kent Intake Unit is mainly used for unaccompanied children who arrive at the coast to be supervised, identified, interviewed and issued with immigration documents.
Most other detainees were transferred to Manston. Families and women travelled on coaches with unrelated males, but they alighted first and were seated separately while waiting to be formally processed by Border Force staff
Families with children were prioritised at Manston, but processing remained slow at busy times and we observed some families with very young children waiting for several hours to be progressed into the family marquee. The family marquee was in good condition and provided baby food, children’s toys and changing facilities. However, at the time of our inspection there was no private area for women to breastfeed.
The family marquee was decorated in bright cheerful colours, with plenty of toys to occupy children However, in other areas there were not enough activity materials to occupy adults. They could watch television but in most areas there was nothing to read. Detainees did not have enough access to fresh air. They were not allowed to leave the marquees during their detention, except when being escorted to interviews in other buildings. Both marquees included a small prayer room furnished with religious books and prayer mats
Well, not any more
