Story

In recent years, the British-American private military company, G4S, has expanded its role within the security landscape, reflecting a shift towards privatized security firms managing traditionally government-controlled functions. In the United Kingdom, G4S has taken charge of various prison facilities, including two immigration detention centers and six prisons like Oakwood and Birmingham. These prisons have been subjects of controversy due to allegations of abuse and mismanagement.
