According to him, overcrowding was one of the biggest issues within the facility. He claimed that about 80 detainees shared a single housing pod and had access to only four toilets and four showers, some of which were frequently out of service.
He also criticised the quality of food provided to detainees, alleging that meals were repetitive and lacked flavour.
"The food was terrible," he said, adding that similar meals were served repeatedly throughout the week.
The deportee further raised concerns about medical care, claiming that detainees received limited treatment regardless of the nature of their illness.
Beyond the physical conditions, the young man said the uncertainty surrounding detainees' immigration cases had a severe impact on their mental well-being.
He described the experience as emotionally draining, explaining that many detainees lived without knowing when their cases would be resolved or what their eventual fate would be.
His account has since attracted significant attention online, with social media users sharing mixed reactions to his claims about life inside the detention centre.
