On Channel 4 News last night a man supported by our Casework Team spoke about his experiences of being detained for months by the Home Office. Immigration detention, especially without a fixed time limit, is an unjust practice causing serious harm to people's mental health.

We have joined this public statement to demand an immediate halt to the reopening of the Haslar and Campsfield detention centres. Public resources should be directed toward community-based alternatives, not expanding the detention estate.  theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
