The United Kingdom is no more. Wales, now an independent republic, grows rich on the most precious of natural resources—water. It is a nation with a good quality of life, a functioning health and social security system. The border is closed. Illegal immigration remains a problem and to resolve this the Welsh Government have set up a quota, to give a select few people from England, Scotland and beyond a new home.

In post-Brexit austerity England, the contract for running both detention centres and processing applications to enter Wales have been put out to tender. River Severn Security (R7S) has won the contract for both and, in a cost-saving exercise, has rolled the operations together.

The Detention Centre is not a prison per se, it is just that the residents are contained there

“for their own safety” while their applications are considered. Whilst at the centre, residents are prepared for a possible admission into Wales by learning important skills. They are also tested, assessed, interviewed, and examined to make sure that only the best will be considered as a part of the official Quota of Immigration.

The facility was once a low security prison; it was partially destroyed during prison riots and has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. R7S was able to secure the lease on the building for a very low investment and is working tirelessly on plans to modernise the facility.
