Twenty-nine-year-old Samuel says conditions at Manston were grim, with dirty toilets, cold meals and showers, and people having to search for cardboard to bed down on.
Samuel, who told us he fled from Eritrea to avoid military service, said conditions improved when he was moved to other accommodation in London.
The Home Office says it has reduced overcrowding and Manston is now understood to be a few hundred over its 1,200 capacity. Ms Braverman said:"It is not right that the British people are picking up a £2bn bill every year because the asylum system has been broken by an unprecedented wave of illegal migration.
"There is no one silver bullet, but we are redoubling our efforts on multiple fronts to tackle this unacceptable situation."Braverman 'has got the message'There are currently 100,000 asylum seekers waiting for a decision on their claim.
