Centre 'damaging' child detainees
Children are being "damaged" by their
detention at Britain's largest
immigration removal centre, the Chief
Inspector of Prisons has warned.
Anne Owers said an autistic girl of
five had been held at Yarl's Wood and
not eaten properly for four days.
She said education at the centre was
"inadequate" and "depressing".
The Home Office said detention was used
sparingly, especially when children
were involved, and education at Yarl's
Wood, near Bedford, was improving.
