Locals launch protest against plans for new women’s detention centre in County Durham
LOCALS stepped up their campaign against government plans for a new women’s detention centre in County Durham by launching a protest outside the site today.
Crowds gathered outside the former Hassockfield youth jail and notorious Medomsley detention centre in Consett, where the Home Office wants to create a new immigration removal centre.
The new facility is expected to hold about 80 women when it opens this autumn.
