Gitmo firm to run UK detention centre

The GEO Group, a company that manages part of Guantanamo Bay prison camp and private jails in the US, has been chosen to run the Dungavel immigration removal centre for five years.

In the United States, the firm has been facing rising accusations of sexual assault, human rights abuses, and negligence.

It is reported that the guards at South Texas Detention Complex have been forcing women prisoners to have sex with them or will be deported.

In 2007, Texas decided to cancel a £6million deal with GEO and closed the Coke County Juvenile Justice Centre following sexual abuse claims.
