As the controversy over immigration control continues to unfold on a global level, this timely book explores the widespread involvement of private companies in UK detention and removal policies. Based on original empirical data, the book pulls back the curtain on the day-to-day practices of the UK Home Office and private service providers, providing critical insights about the inner workings and failings of their processes. Offering a unique analysis of the enactment of power and state sovereignty, this organizational ethnography will inform scholarly, policy and society debates.
