Children made to sleep on the floor in Manston migrant centre

Sky, 01 Nov 2022
Charlie Taylor, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, has told Sky News that the Home Office needs to "get a grip" on the situation at Manston migrant centre.

A new report has revealed that detainees were not allowed to close toilet doors fully and had to sleep on the floor.

"Bear in mind that some of these people have had incredibly long journeys. Some of them are potentially victims of torture, victims of all sorts of abuse and also potentially victims of trafficking as well."

He said he would be "horrified" if he saw the situation at Manston echoed at UK prisons.
