Violence, self-harm and drug use has increased at an immigration removal centre according to the chief inspector of prisons. The findings follow an unannounced inspection of the 392-room Morton Hall near Lincoln.

Inspectors said there had been a "significant decline in safety" since the last inspection. The Home Office claimed strategies to reduce incidents of violence were in place and would be reviewed.
