> (ex)detainees describing life in detention. We are publishing a second
> volume of 'Voices from Detention' this Spring and we are inviting
> detainees and ex-detainees to contribute their experiences.
> 
> 
> Contributions should be 500-3,000 words approximately and can be
> anonymous if people wish to remain un-named.  What the editorial board
> is looking for is a description of life before entering the detention
> centres, experiences inside detention (including how people were
> treated and how much they were moved around etc.), and what effect the
> detention has had on them. If people have pictures to contribute they
> would also be welcome.

> It was published in 2002 and contains testimony from people locked
> away between 1999 and 2000.  This next volume we hope will contain
> more of people's first hand experiences and some information about who
> runs the centres world wide and in the UK, and what rights people have
> when they are in immigration detention, as well as useful addresses
> and phone numbers. It is planned to have experiences from Australia
> and other parts of the world included.

> This second volume of Voices - Voices 2 - will be given to all MPs, be
