Prison building experts called in to expand UK’s migrant detention centres

2 years ago

The Home Office has called in construction experts to help expand migrant detention centres using designs based on prisons amid the small boats crisis, i can reveal. Construction firm Laing O’Rourke has been given a million-pound contract to help with the “rapid construction” of new blocks at immigration removal centres in England. The Government has been attempting to rapidly expand the capacity of its migrant centres amid the failure so far of its Rwanda scheme to start deporting asylum seekers.
Laing O’Rourke, a major UK construction firm with experience in building prisons, is to establish whether it is viable to build new blocks on sites at Bexhill in East Sussex, Yarl’s Wood in Bedfordshire and at Manston in Kent.
The firm is expected to be paid £1.1m for the work, which began in July and is set to finish in October. The contract was categorised on the Government’s website as “Prison building construction work” and “Services related to the detention or rehabilitation of criminals”.
