Shut down Yarl's Wood Immigration Prison
Yarl's Wood, Bedford. Sat 13 May 2017
Making some noise at the prison fence
'Set her free'
'Shut it Down'
People are lifted up to hold posters above the solid part of the prison
fence
People inside wave
and a few can be seen clearly, but most of the windows reflect too
much
People hold up messages, some with phone numbers that those outside
can ring
Coloured flares
Those further up the hill can be seen from the upper floor windows
inside the immigration prison
'The windows only open far enough to put an arm out - holding notices
'Set Us Free' , 'Justice for Us'
People wave back
and hold up balloons and placards
And a powerful sound system lets people inside hear those outside
Many of those who speak are former inmates of this or other immigration
prisons
