Serco shareholders gather in the City of London today to celebrate financial success. Just across the river, Britain's newest private prison HMP Thameside, run by Serco, is failing.

The NHS saved her life. The UK Border Agency plans to send her to her death. Public support ahead of 21 November appeal hearing may be Roseline Akhalu’s last hope.

Inmates at Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre claim employee of commercial contractor GEO beat immigration detainee and left him naked in an unheated room. Police say there are no suspicious circumstances.

A terrible day for the UK Border Agency, as Peers describe its culture of disbelief, its abuse of torture victims, the denial of legal representation, dawn raids on pregnant mothers, the perils of outsourcing, ‘loutish and aggressive’ behaviour, deaths by G4S, and that’s not all . . .

The appalling Rochdale sexual abuse scandal prompted long-overdue scrutiny of our children’s homes. Another national disgrace ripe for exposure is the UK Border Agency’s serial and repugnant oppression and abuse of vulnerable children over more than a decade. Today OurKingdom publishes Clare Sambrook’s exposé of the Border Agency’s abuse of children and its relentless misrepresentation of evidence of harm. We call upon Parliament to hold ministers, the Home Office and its ugly agency to account. (The material that follows is distressing.)

• It’s no joke — the world’s biggest security company is training immigration staff in “Keeping Children Safe”. 
• • G4S "invited" to delivery training without competition.
• • UK Border Agency executives "delighted" and "couldn't have been more complimentary".
• • G4S has record of harming children and adults in its care.

Our Kingdom broke the story that UK police personnel were wearing uniforms with the logo of a private security company. But G4S isn't just securing the Olympics: the company has global reach. openSecurity joins Clare Sambrook in asking how G4S is securing your world.
