anon | 09.03.2009 16:11 | Anti-racism | Migration
This is an invitation to take part in a mass email action TOMORROW against detention profiteer, CgMs Consulting, following on from today's successful phone blockade. CgMs are acting as planning consulants for the proposed new migrant prison near Bicester, and we want to persuade them to drop the project.
Full background details are below. We are calling for as many people as possible to email CgMs staff tomorrow, telling them what you think of the project and asking them to drop it. An example letter is below.
Of course, you can feel free to email them anytime during the project, but it will be more effective tomorrow (or Wed) because they have a crucial planning hearing on Thursday (details below).

EXAMPLE EMAIL
Dear Madam/Sir,
I am writing regarding the proposal for the 'Immigration Removal Centre' near Bicester, Oxfordshire, which CgMs is managing on behalf of the Home Office.
The detention of migrants is barbaric and completely unjustifiable. Many of those currently in UK detention centres are attempting to flee war, political repression or destitution. CgMs should not be playing a part in this process. I demand that you abandon the project immediately.
Sincerely,
x

BACKGROUND INFO
CgMs, a planning consultancy firm, have been selected by the Home Office to try and ensure that the proposed immigration detention centre near Bicester, Oxfordshire, acquires planning approval.
The next hearing is on the 12th March. Although they will already have drafted the plans,applying pressure before this crucial hearing (at which they will be making a presentation) will disrupt the process. If permission is denied or the decision postponed, CgMs will remain a vital player in the realisation of the project.
THE BICESTER DETENTION CENTRE
The Home Office's currently proposes to construct a 800-bed all male detention centre on ex-MOD land in Piddington, near Bicester. If built, it is reported that it would be the largest detention centre in Europe. This is the second time the govt. has sought to build one near Bicester, the first proposal being abandoned in 2005 - apparently due NIMBYs in uproar. The Home Office is trying to appease them this time by claiming that the centre will be the equivalent of a category c prison.
WHY CgMs?
CgMs have a history of exploiting the asylum process. They advised the government on the construction of Yarl's Wood and the conversion of Dungavel from a prison into a detention centre for migrants. They have in the past been contracted to advise on the development of numerous other UK detention centres.
Of course, you can feel free to email them anytime during the project, but it will be more effective tomorrow (or Wed) because they have a crucial planning hearing on Thursday (details below).
