An employee of the American prisons company GEO Group told a London inquest yesterday that it was a matter of “routine” to handcuff immigration detainees receiving treatment at an NHS hospital.
And a doctor at Hillingdon Hospital told the inquest: “We receive a lot of patients from detention centres and quite often they’re cuffed.”
