An Unfair System

Whilst visiting detainees at both centres one cannot fail to notice how hope and expectation leave the detainee. On arrival although a little confused they feel they will be treated fairly, and it will only be a matter of a few days before they are released. Reality dawns and they realise the system is weighted against them, they see many who have been there longer than them. People with very similar experiences as themselves are released, they often say the system is unfair. They lose hope, become dejected and sad.
