The tragic death of a 26-year-old man in Brook House immigration removal centre, potentially linked to drug spice, has triggered an investigation by the prisons ombudsman.
In a rare move, Serco communicated with detainees post-death, emphasizing the dangers of substance use, particularly referencing spice as harmful and potentially life-threatening.
Detainees expressed concerns about the mental state of the deceased, noting he had previously sought voluntary repatriation to France. His tragic case highlights the need for better mental health support.
Official reports had previously warned of the dangers within Brook House, with staff believing it was only a matter of time before a drug-related death occurred.
