An investigation has been launched into the fourth death at a Lincoln immigration removal centre in the last year. A 27-year-old Iraqi man died at Morton Hall immigration removal centre on Sunday morning. Just a few weeks ago Carlington Spencer, 38, from Jamaica, died at Morton Hall. Celia Clarke, director of BID (Bail for Immigration Detainees) said: “We are absolutely devastated to learn of yet another death in immigration detention. “It’s been a year since an unannounced inspection of Morton Hall exposed a surge in violence and a threefold rise in self-harm since 2013.
