Prisons in Crisis
Description
A damning new report exposes systemic failures across UK immigration detention and prison systems, revealing staff wearing England flags, unlawful child detentions, secretive deportation processes, and horrific healthcare delays—including detainees forced to be handcuffed for treatment. Inside prisons, drugs trigger medical crises, spider infestations cause hospitalizations and possible limb loss, while youth jails are plagued by weapon discoveries, self-isolation due to fear, and boys sleeping in coats amid extreme cold. The watchdog warns conditions are worsening, demanding urgent, systemic change—not denial or quick fixes—while the Home Office disputes the findings, claiming improvements since inheriting a broken system.
