letter to The Guardian on pointless detention
The article about meaningless prison sentences misses out another important aspect. In the UK we lock up people for an indefinite period for no reason other than administrative convenience in our immigration system. The UK is the European Union's biggest detainer of migrants, many of whom will have been detained in conditions equivalent to high-security prisons as if they are serving prison sentences. Most cannot return to their country of origin for reasons beyond their control. Independent evidence shows that £75 million a year could be saved if we end this practice which wastes people's lives as well as all of our money.
