Episode 15 -Bella Sankey- Detention Action- A time limit on Britains detention estate is long overdue

We speak to Bella Sankey, Director of Detention Action, in this episode, we discuss the harsh detention and deportation scheme the UK enforces on people seeking asylum. Last year 24 748 people were subject to indefinite Immigration Detention. 
In the land of the Magna Carta, people can be held by the state in prison-like conditions with no time limit. 
In the past 3 years, the British Government has paid out £24million to 914 people whom the courts have deemed were unlawfully detained.

How did we get here?
