> This is to raise money to protest against both Campsfield and the projected
> Bicester accommodation centre. The existence of centres where people are
> locked away for no crime on our own doorstep is shameful. What goes on
> inside the centres is deeply concerning.. An undercover journalist
> published his findings in January 2004 in the Mirror that were then
> scrutinised - and upheld. Undercover reporters worked in the vans which
> transport detainees and in Oakington and produced a documentary shown in
> March 2005 exposing shocking racism and abuse carried out with our taxes by
> Global Solutions and Wakenhut. Global Solutions run Campsfield House - and
> have been awarded the Bicester Accomodation Centre Contract. We don't want
> the centres and we don't want private firms making a profit from running
> the centres.
