The Independent
|March 03, 2025
The deportation of foreign criminals will be speeded up as part of an immigration crackdown aimed at freeing up spaces in crowded prisons.
A new crack squad will see specialist staff sent to 80 prisons in England and Wales to remove those who have no right to stay in the UK, the Ministry of Justice MoJ) announced yesterday.
The new squad, part of a £5m scheme to be operational by 1 April, will help the Home Office to identify and manage those going through the immigration process, deporting criminals up to 18 months before the end of their prison sentence to serve sentences in their home countries.
Foreign national offenders (FNOs) make up around 12 per cent of the total prison population.
