    However despite this human right, peer reviewed articles indicate that there still remains a gap in public policy on the treatment of refugees in mandatory detention centres. Mandatory detention is continually used a means of processing unauthorised entrants to a country, which includes both economic migrants as well as those fleeing persecution (Skulan, 2006). It is interesting to note that for the last two decades, countries have acknowledged that detention is undesirable and may only be resorted to under certain conditions. Despite this, there is a growing number of asylum seekers detained throughout the world, and often domestic law will fail to accord with international

    Refugees are physically separated from their family and friends when they relocate to a host country. This lack of familial support among those in an ethnic community directly affects refugees’ emotional and physical health in a negative manner (Simich, Beiser,& Mawani, 2003). Poor or nonexistent support systems do not give refugees the outlet to cope with the involuntary changes that are forced upon their lives as a resettled refugee. An incapability to deal with such stressors is the specific cause as to why significant amounts of psychological distress are seen among Afghan refugees in America.

    The authors of this widely cited research paper have done a commendable job by correlating the legal and psychiatric systems with their social implications. Hutchinson and Martin argue that the detention of children is in contravention of the Human Rights as provided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CROC). A report released by Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission stated that the country had failed to take appropriate steps to protect and promote the mental health of the children under detention and therefore, breached Article 37 of the CROC. Research suggests that the effect of detention has more detrimental impact on mental health of children than on adults and it should be used as last resort as it is not in the best interest of refugee

Mrs. Hopkins, Recently, I have read your controversial and callous article ‘If Britain is prepared to provide an all-inclusive resort service for asylum seekers, the least they can do is wear a bloody wristband.’ From a student with a family member who has experienced being a refugee, I know that the issues regarding asylum seekers and refugees are critical in the modern society. Therefore, I feel that your article, mostly oversimplified and prejudiced, could mislead lots of readers to have undesirable views on those people who are in need.
