AN IMMIGRATION detention centre which caused “untold suffering” to its detainees, including four who died in the space of a year, is set to close.

Morton Hall in Swinderby, Lincolnshire, will return to its original use as a prison next year, according to the Ministry of Justice. 

Those being held there will be transferred to other detention centres in the coming months.
