The nights are the worst in Yarl’s Wood. Doors being banged and sometimes people crying. You always think they may be coming to your door. This fear lives in me, and I don’t know how to get rid of it.
I don’t know how to get rid of it. It’s a far lesser thing, I know, but it’s the same for me and disgust.
We did this, we do this. Is it a learned behaviour, the things we do to these people? If so, who did we learn it from?
