> scrutinised - and upheld. Undercover reporters worked in the vans which
> transport detainees and in Oakington and produced a documentary shown in
> March 2005 exposing shocking racism and abuse carried out with our taxes by
> Global Solutions and Wakenhut. Global Solutions run Campsfield House - and
> have been awarded the Bicester Accomodation Centre Contract. We don't want
> the centres and we don't want private firms making a profit from running
> the centres.

meeting about new jail

28.04.2005 18:08

Having said in 2002 that Campsfield would be closed, the Home Office now plans to expand it and to build another jail for asylum seekers in Bicester, near Oxford. This new 'accommodation centre' is to be run by a private company GSL (Global Solutions Ltd, formerly part of Group 4), which also runs Campsfield and various other jails around the country.
Come to a meeting to find out more about this (and how to stop it...), at the East Oxford Community Centre on Monday 9th May, 7pm.
