The dark side of use of Immigration detention Powers.

Anyone looking for a case study on the dark side of use of immigration detention Powers not for the purposes it was designed by the British parliament should look no further, perhaps my case has every elements of its abuse.

The Secretary of State powers of deportation was enforced whilst my deportation Appeal and Confiscation proceedings were still pending. The ulterior motive to deny me adequate time and facilities to prepare and discharge my burden of proof in Confiscation proceeding.

It is self-evident the Home Office received 50% of whatever that is recovered from offenders under Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. It is needless to say the least that early enforcement of my deportation in 23 January 2014 being declared missing whilst I remained in custody were probably to ensure that my solicitors are frustrated from booking legal visits and taking my instructions.

Despite this early fake deportation enforcement I was detained under Immigration Powers for over 21 months for enforcement of confiscation order and now sent to prison on 28th July 2015 after my family exposed plot by Crown Prosecution Services and Home Office

I’ve been in Yarl’s Wood for a year. I lost everything. I was arrested by immigration 4 years ago. My husband was disabled – I asked to be able to look after my husband but they wouldn’t let me. They said I would run away. Where am I going to run to? I have no where to go. I asked them to arrange people to look after him but they wouldn’t. He was a British man. Then my husband died six weeks after I was arrested. I don’t know where even he is buried now. And now they want to send me back. I’m an orphan and now they make me a widow. I need fight for justice. They make me depressed but I need to fight for justice. They killed my husband.  Where is the justice? I’m scarred of my life. I’m scarred. My life has been trashed. I don’t want to even talk about it.

We stayed out until almost 2 o’clock. Very late.

We stayed out until almost 2 o’clock. Very late. They were busy counting us outside. They were begging us to come in but we didn’t come back. They wanted to count us inside but they had to count us outside. And we were mixing around so they kept on messing the counting. They wanted us to stay still. They have to stop counting us, we are human beings. You’re not supposed to count us. We didn’t eat. Most of us didn’t go in. We’re going at 12 o’clock back out. We’ll be there.

One of the women passed out at 10 o’clock and they took her to healthcare. She’s back in her room now. The IMB woman came to check on her this morning. She cannot remember what happened yesterday. She can’t talk, she’s confused. The woman is sick, she’s tired. She’s here, she can’t even walk. We have to support her. Why is it like this?

We were chanting outside, shouting for freedom yard and a woman collapsed just now. We called the officers and the healthcare nurses came and put her on the wheel chair while she was still unconscious. They man handled her, they carried her on the wheel chair while she was still unconscious. They should have a stretcher. She was breathing. She has been taken away but we are still in the yard. We have missed roll call. There are about 50 women still here.

I served a sentence in prison.

I served a sentence in prison. While I was in prison social services gets involved with my children. And my husband went to prison as well. The family court ruled that when I’m released I should resume the care of my children. But immigration brought me to Yarl’s Wood instead. My deportation is not immanent because I have a judicial review that will take 8 months. I would be on licence anyway so my detention is not really necessary. I don’t see why they don’t release us while we are waiting for our case. I’m here 3 months already. It’s like I’m serving another sentence. And my children are serving another sentence with me because my detention really affects them. They say every child matters and all that and they are not living up to it. They say in the policy that its all about the child’s interest but it doesn’t matter when it comes down to my detention. I don’t know what’s happening I’m just frustrated. I met someone who’s been here for 18 months and it’s really unnecessary. It’s a problem. I’ve done the time, I’ve paid my debts to society and now it’s time to be with my family. It’s like a punishment all over again. My children suffer because of my permanent detention. Everyone should have a chance to move on.

We are tired of this place.

We are tired of this place. Most the people here, they took us when we were reporting during our applications. And then before they reply they detain us when we report. The Home Office haven’t replied to me and then they just detain us. The way they treat us here is not alright and the food is not good at all. I was due for an operation when they detained me. I told them and called Medical Justice also. But the detention centre don’t care. We want people in detention centres to be free. They want us to work here for one pound an hour. Is it that fair?

They are still holding on very strongly. We have almost fifty.

They are still holding on very strongly. We have almost fifty. We are singing and chanting and dancing. We are keeping ourselves warm because it is a bit cold. And the media at the same time. We are planning to be here until 9pm. We don’t eat. We don’t do anything. We don’t want their food. We don’t want their activities. We just want our freedom.

Mostly there are people who shouldn’t be here. They are here unlawfully. Some are pregnant and have long term health conditions. We don’t understand why they detain us. Don’t we have rights? Are we not women? Some of us have been here for a number of years. Does this not count for anything?

I’ve been detained for 19 months. My son is going to school this morning.

I’ve been detained for 19 months. My son is going to school this morning. There are mothers detained. Why can’t they let us go. We are looking after ourselves. This place is inhumane. We have no voice. No one care about us. We want to be free. We want everyone to be free. We see the refugees coming in. What about about us as well. We’ve been here for so long. We need to be free. Let us go to look after our children and cook our own food. WE’ve got people who do serious self harm, those with depression. There are sick people and there is no proper health care system to care for them. They give paracetamol to everyone. The food is bad. There are elderly ladies here. It’s like back in the day slavery. Something has to happen. We haven’t got a voice in here. The officers intimidate us.
