Yarl's Wood is a predominantly female detention centre run by Serco... A lot of the women there are being held without trial, some for years at a time. It seems like the place is just terribly managed. I don't doubt that we do need these places, but they should be centres, not prisons! Sad

I was shocked by the sideline as well as the main article

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-immigration-detention-centre-cost-taxpayer-brexit-eu-migrants-a8195251.html

''The Government shelled out £523.5 million on detaining people for immigration reasons between April 2013 and March 2017, with an additional £16.2 million spent on damages awarded to immigrants who were detained unlawfully in the same period.''
