I think this is such an important campaign for us all to get behind..
The Government last year acknowledged how damaging it is to lock up children yet this August a new immigration detention centre will be opening up especially for children and their families..
Barnardos - supposedly a charity to stand up for the rights of our children - is working with the UKBA to have them detained. I have visited children and families in detention and seen first hand just how traumatizing it is both for the children and the parents.

Could we join the Campaign against the detention of children in Immigration Prisons in the UK?
