Detention centres attacked as figures reveal self-harm by asylum-seekers

By John Hirst

ADVERTISEMENTS
Detention centres attacked as figures reveal self-harm by asylum-seekers

"The true cost of using detention centres to lock up failed asylum-seekers has been exposed by statistics showing the extent of self-harm among those held.

Figures show that in the last four months of 2007, 42 people needed medical attention for self-harm in Britain's 10 centres.

This represents 2 per cent of the 2,095 people held at that time. As well as these cases, one in five people held were considered to be at risk of self-harm and being formally observed. Colnbrook detention centre, near Heathrow, was worst, with 18 cases of self-harm treated in four months, and 126 people under formal watch".
