Thank you for sharing this. Prison support keeps this real. I also used to visit asylum seekers inside an immigrant detention centre in the middle of nowhere, England. Until I got banned, as I had supposedly invited a riot inside. Which was untrue. And my MP (a Conservative) wouldn’t help me. The main guy I visited was stateless and from Sierra Leone. A doctor who helped other asylum seekers with paperwork. He died of a brain aneurysm inside on 6 December 2016. Apparently, they wouldn’t let him go to the hospital when he needed to.

That is so heartbreaking, especially because of how many stories there are just like it
