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 past 3 years, the British Government has paid out £24million to 914 people whom the courts have deemed were unlawfully detained.
