A PUBLIC inquiry into alleged abuse of detainees at Brook House has been urged to investigate “systemic failures” across Britain’s detention system.
The probe, set up last year, is investigating what happened at the immigration removal centre, run by G4S at the time, after a BBC Panorama documentary exposed alleged abuse by employees against detainees.
Footage obtained by a former G4S employee in 2017 showed colleagues physically and verbally abusing detainees, with one member of staff strangling a man.
