UK: Joint Committee on Human Rights report on Renewal of Control Orders Legislation 2011 (link): Calls for all existing control orders to be reviewed and expresses concern that "control orders will continue for another nine months to be used, unnecessarily, to 'park' or 'warehouse' individuals beyond the reach of the criminal justice system, and in a way which positively obstructs any realistic possibility of prosecution."
