Tinsley
Tinsley House
Perimeter Road South
Gatwick Airport
London.
Tinsley House was the first UK purpose built
detention centre. It was opened in 1996, has a
capacity to hold 135 people at any one time and
around 11,000 detainees currently go through the
centre each year. In 2001, it became the first
centre to hold families.
Managed by Group4, now operating as Global
Solutions Limited - owned by Engelfield Capital
and Electra Partners Europe, Tinsley House is
known as one of the less harsh regimes but
people are kept there for decreasing periods so
they cannot develop a relationship with visitors
or find a decent solicitor to take their case.
