My friend in Yarls Wood told me the same thing and that they are planning to thoroughly clean and re-paint the family (C) wing.

The sickness and diarrhoea have been going on for a good few weeks and many detainees have been in hospital for short periods.

Please write to Liam Byrne, Minister for Immigration - byrnel@parliament,
Home Office,
3rd Floor
Peel Building,
2 Marsham Street
London,
SW1P 4DF

Express your disgust and ask that all familes be released.
