There are about 3,700 detainees in 13 "immigrant removal centres" in the UK. Detention costs UK taxpayers about £100 per detainee per day. There is no limit on the period of detention, even if the detainee has committed no crime (other than an immigration infraction). The system is absurd, inhumane and could be replaced by electronic monitoring at a fraction of the cost.
Close all immigrant detention centres in the UK (such as Yarl's Wood in Bedfordshire), and release all detainees who have not committed crimes.
