People from Notts and Lincolnshire held a noise demo outside Morton Hall IRC, the UK's most recently opened prison for migrants. A sound system, horns, whistles and pots and pans were used to let those inside know we were there outside in solidarity, wanting to close down Morton Hall and all immigration prisons. Close down Morton Hall!

Unfortunately, due to harassment by the British Transport Police at Nottingham station, many of us missed our train and the demo didn't start on time. Once we arrived we were greeted by Lincolnshire constabulary's Wildlife Crime Unit, although once they realised we weren't there to give cigarettes to underage squirrels they left us alone. We did a tour of the quite extensive perimeter fence with our banners making noise and chanting 'No Borders, No Nations, Stop Deportations' and 'Close Down Morton Hall'. Some of the centre is still under construction and there are a lot of boarded up houses nearby. Once we'd got back to the main gate we turned off the music out of respect for those visiting loved ones inside and held our banners up for the gawking prison guards and the Wildlife Crime Unit's photographer.

We will be back, again and again, until they close this prison down.
