Privatisation creates a corporate veil in this sector, which clouds the appropriate lines of accountability. It generates confusion about the boundary between the state and the private actors, and it is not clear enough how accountability is to be determined when harms are committed in the deportation process. This chapter contends that there is a gap between the existence of accountability mechanisms and the effective application of them to private actors. A discussion of criminal and human rights perspectives through the lens of the Jimmy Mubenga case will illustrate that privatisation has had a detrimental effect on accountability, and this is largely due to the hostile context in which it operates and the way society conceives migrants generally.","PeriodicalId":192544,"journal":{"name":"Privatisation of Migration Control: Power without Accountability?","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128205387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the central focus is around two key questions. First, it seeks to examine how the availability of indefinite immigration detention in the UK system increases the propensity of detainees to engage in exploitative ‘paid activities’ work, for which they are mostly paid £1 per hour. The concept of ‘precarious work’ will be used, in a new immigration detention context, as the theoretical basis for analysing how a lack of certainty of detention period is a key question in contributing to the acceptance of precarious ‘paid activities’. Second, it seeks to examine how this effective institutionalisation of precarious work contributes to the fashioning of precarious migrant workers in the wider labour market upon detainees’ release.","PeriodicalId":192544,"journal":{"name":"Privatisation of Migration Control: Power without Accountability?","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131678899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter thus provides a comprehensive and analytical view of the most critical blind spots that it believes should be addressed. It engages with both sides of the migration industry to expose the exploitation and mistreatment of vulnerable migrants and the lack of sufficient oversight and transparency. Finally, it explores the lock-in effect phenomenon and private actors’ irreversible involvement in policy-making.","PeriodicalId":192544,"journal":{"name":"Privatisation of Migration Control: Power without Accountability?","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123664500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
