As at 31 December 2017 (latest published figures) there were 9,012 foreign national prisoners held in prisons in England and Wales, with a further 328 held in the HMPPS operated Immigration Removal Centre.
Any foreign national who comes to our country and abuses our hospitality by breaking the law should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them. More than 40,000 foreign national offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010, and in the last financial year, a record number of over 6,300 were removed.
