Refugees swap ‘grim’ barracks for detention centres
Asylum seekers queue for the one canteen at Napier Barracks in Folkestone where they're being kept
ASYLUM-SEEKERS are being transferred straight from the notorious Napier barracks in Kent to detention centres for removal, sparking fresh concerns over access to justice.
The Home Office claims that the grim former army camp in Folkestone is a temporary facility for asylum-seekers before they are transferred to supported accommodation.
But one asylum-seeker has told the Morning Star that he was transferred almost directly from the camp to a detention facility.
