Detention Centres

This guide from Right to Remain explains what immigration detention is, how it differs from prison, and why people subject to immigration control should prepare for the possibility of being detained. It emphasises that detention can happen suddenly and without warning. The bulk of the resource is a practical directory listing current Immigration Removal Centres (including Brook House, Colnbrook, Derwentside, Dungavel House, Harmondsworth, Tinsley House, and Yarl's Wood) and Short Term Holding Facilities (including Larne House, Manchester Airport, Manston, and Swinderby), with addresses and contact details for each. It also notes facilities that have closed or are planned to reopen, such as Campsfield House and Haslar IRC.
