Senior inspector raises concern over boredom at MDP Wethersfield asylum center.

A senior inspector has raised concerns over boredom at the MDP Wethersfield asylum center in Essex, England, which may lead to violent disorder among the asylum seekers living there. The former RAF base was opened as an asylum center in July 2023, housing 967 people in its first five months. Independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, David Neal, warned that the lack of "purposeful" activities could have negative impacts on residents' mental health and safety.
