Background

Derwentside Immigration Removal Centre (Derwentside IRC) is a detention facility in County Durham used to house women waiting for deportation from the UK. Opened in late 2021 despite opposition from Durham County Council, the facility was initially operated by Mitie under a two-year contract. In 2023, the operation of the facility was taken over by Serco, who were awarded a nine-year contract with Immigration Enforcement to operate the site. As of 2021, the site had capacity for 84 women.
