Here is some information that may be of use to your friend:

Detainees can apply for bail at any stage in the detention process and detainees can make as many bail applications as they wish. For advice and guidance on how to do this please contact Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) who run a telephone advice line and can also provide an information pack so that detainees can represent themselves at bail application hearings. Detainees may also wish to ask to see someone from their detention centre’s visitors group - if there is one – who may be able to provide them with appropriate advice and support.
