Scandal-hit security privateer Serco has fired two immigration centre guards following a government inspection for having sex with a vulnerable detainee.
A third employee at the company’s Yarl’s Wood women’s centre in Bedfordshire was also sacked for failing to take any action when the female detainee reported the two men.
HM Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Hardwick said: “We were concerned to find that two staff had engaged in sexual activity with a female detainee, something that can never be less than abusive given the vulnerability of the detained population, and these staff had rightly been dismissed.”
