HMIP have just released their latest report from an unannounced inspection they did at Tinsley House back in July. The report highlights the poor and deteriorating conditions for women and children in particular, calling them 'wholly unacceptable'. Dame Ann Owers and her team also described how the centre had suffered since the opening of Brook House, as most of G4S' attention was focused on the problems they were having at the new centre.

In March 2008, Anne Owers and her team came back to Tinsley to carry out another announced inspection. We were again consulted during the inspection, and were able to raise any areas of concern.
In November 2004 the Chief Inspector of Prisons, Anne Owers, carried out an inspection of Tinsley House. The inspectors consulted with GDWG both before and during the inspection and in its report commented on: "The excellent and necessary work carried out, mainly voluntarily, by the Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group".
