Locked up, locked out: health and human rights in immigration detention

Locked up, locked out: health and human rights in immigration detention This report outlines how aspects of current detention policies and practices, such as no clear time-limits on how long people will be detained, are detrimental to the health of migrants and asylum-seekers, and also sets out the challenges doctors face when providing healthcare in detention settings. It argues that the detention of people who have not been convicted of a crime should be a measure of last resort and should be phased out. British Medical Association
