“It feels like prison. We can't go outside after 10pm or even before 7am.We only enter or leave through security. We are not allowed to work.” Salah, a Somali asylum seeker in his mid-twenties, lives on the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland, United Kingdom, alongside 411 other men. As he waits for a Home Office interview, his small, shared room becomes a battleground for depression: the other residents ”don’t want to go outside [or] talk with people. They go crazy”. To cope, Salah joins a local running club, which offers him a brief respite from isolation: “While I wait, all I can do is keep running.” When his interview appointment finally arrives, Salah’s future hangs in the balance, as does the Bibby Stockholm’s.
