Put down Trandum Immigration Detention

Trandum been present Guantánamo, where people are held in miserable conditions without trial or committed crimes to begin with, and something must be done about this?Trandum Immigration Detention is effectively a combined reception centers and prisons for:

Foreigners who have finally rejected asylum application and has not left the country within the specified deadline.

There are five key reasons why Trandum Immigration Detention should be closed immediately, and a new and more humane system is used:

1. Trandum serves as a prison without any legal basis for this. The inmates sit there often without judicial cast of contents and indefinitely

2. The conditions are unacceptable and violates the minimum one could expect in the state of Norway

3. The way prisoners are treated in close psychological torture and clear violation of human rights

4. A good percentage of inmates with mental health problems or get it during our stay, but the staff has no jurisdiction to deal with this and there is no system to prevent this

5. Families and children under 15 are among the inmates,
with all the consequences for growth and development that has

The points in detail see below for sources :

1. Trandum Immigration Detention operated by police  with the intent to engage in inmates from Norway. Here are both those who have been expelled from Norway for having committed crimes, and those who fear to go back but have not received their application for asylum is granted in Norway. There are also people who have not been able to identify the country of origin or identity.

All are treated as criminals because they can not leave the area, even if they are not on paper. This is in stark contrast to the law, where, as the Ombudsman points out, there is only reason to detain this way identity solve people when they do not comply with the duty on certain refuges or notification .

The use of force in relation to such a diverse group ranging from criminal to people who lack passports and children is questionable and may have minor extent be said to be governed by the laws and regulations that take account of diversity. This is particularly fuse the cells which are insufficiently controlled under the new regulations

2.The prisoners have their freedom of movement restricted as in prison, but did not get the rights or correctional care in Norway seems that ordinary inmates receive. On the contrary, inmates, so the government even naming them, kept up to 8 people per room in the room without any access to electricity Besides light and heat, so they can not hear music, watch TV or have other recreation room There is no activation of the inserted in contrast to Norwegian prison general and it is otherwise limited activities

This violates Regulation on Police Immigration Detention paragraph 2.The foreigner has the right to privacy. This right should be respected as far as is practicable and permitted by the Immigration Act
 .
There are security cell , read smooth cells used in the boarding is no access to water and toilet . Here people have been held more than a day Generally the premises according to the supervisory board is not appropriate for the inmates
.
3. The use of safety cells is rather dubious. In particular, one must draw attention to the calls every half hour, which in international law is considered to torture . Court of Appeal has considered and found police guilty in a case where an inmate at Trandum were weight every 15 minutes on the grounds of preventing suicide.
There have also been cases of violence against prisoners .


According to Norwegian law can be isolated in a maximum of one day, while inmates have been isolated for up to 4 days
Even after the amendment in 2007, the use of force, insulation etc on Trandum for poorly regulated according Bar Association Human Rights Committee : sanctions against inmates is not tested for any right, and that is bad with the control and supervision


Prisoners have also been drugged prior to shipping from Norway . But there is no record of the use of force, insulation or other violations and potential violations of inmates' rights committed in Trandum, and no one investigates. It does not appear that the Act of 2007 has helped here, as it was committed assault by police early as next year

4. The inmates may have harmful effects of the stay , including mental health problems, which is not surprising when you know the circumstances. Aftenposten reports of desperation and fear among inmates.

There have also been imprisoned children with mental health issues here, rather than giving them treatment . To assume that any treatment can take place while they are inked on Trandum is mildly naive with the many other problems that are there.

On the contrary, social isolation , depression and the like easy to get worse in such situations. There have also been problems with maintaining adequate contact with the family .

In 2010, the use of unqualified staff increased and this causes the inmates to a greater extent taken care of by people who have no knowledge of their rights prisoners have, how to handle emergencies or take care of inmates with problems, so f ex correctional doing ordinary imprison.

5. Ministry of Justice  says of the stay for children Trandum: "It is a goal that families with children as little as possible should be on Trandum and experience from 2010 show that families only to a limited extent have stayed there.

" Yet 50 of 150 seats specially reserved for women, families and children. How the distribution mix these are is unclear, but it is clear that there are a number of children among the prisoners in conditions that can hardly be said to comply with the UN Convention.

The regulations of the Immigration Detention  states that the child must be basic, but it's almost impossible to imagine a situation where stays the dormitory may be best for the child.
