#Jamaica50 Voices - Listen to the videos in this thread as D speaks out from Colnbrook about the conditions he's endured as someone who entered detention COVID free & is now gasping for breath & struggling with his mental health in isolation. Time to #StopThePlane (Thread 1/8)

D isolated & not given phone charger or belongings "I feel physically weak at the moment, like Im going to collapse any time" "last time I felt like this was when homeless & starving on streets" "things like this trigger traumatic memories for me" #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane (2/8)

"I'm still here waiting and trying my best to deal with what's happening to me right now" "I wish they would send me to the NHS and let be quarantine there" #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane Here he described how system is designed to be slow, not provided what he needs to cope. (3/8)

"Not only am I in isolation but I've mental issues & Im by myself" "there's nothing here" just day before D put in isolation he had a mental health crisis & compares the care he got with that with the lack of care he is receiving in COVID isolation #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane (4/8)

"unfortunately Im thinking very negative, Im worried, this is quite damaging to me quite now" "missed medication last night, likely miss it tonight as well" #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane "this is not right" (5/8)

"I don't know if I can spend another night in here, I was banging my head on the wall, on the door glass to stop negative thoughts" "feel like Im trapped within a prison, within a prison in my mind - I feel like there's no escape for me right now" #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane (6/8)

"its very dangerous, I don't know how Im going to cope" "they just give me excuses after excuses after excuses" "Im starving, Im so hungry" "Im terrified, really Im terrified right now" #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane #EndDetention (7/8)
