The deportation of foreign criminal is accelerated as part of an immigration course that aims to free rooms in overcrowded prisons.

In a new crack squad, specialists in 80 prisons in England and Wales are sent to remove those who have no right of residence in Great Britain, the Ministry of Justice (Moj) announced on Sunday.

The new squad, part of a scheme company of 5 million until April 1st

Foreign national offenders (FNOS) make up around 12 percent of the total prison population.

The move comes as part of a wider effort by the Labor government to deport more illegal migrants, which has led to allegations that tried to imitate the UK party of Nigel Farage.

Last month, The independent Uneasy the Home Office was looking for a company to monitor the booking and monitoring of flights that deport those who do not behave in Great Britain.

It will increase the growing counter reaction among the plans of the party to film immigration raids and publish pictures of deportation flights so as not to “show the public” what it does to act against migration.

Around 2,580 FNOs have been increased since July last year, compared to 12 months earlier.

Almost 21,000 returns took place in the same period – the highest rate on conversion for more than half a decade, said the Moj.

After the latest Moj numbers, the number of prisoners in England and Wales reached February 24, 87.199.

This is the highest number since October 21 of last year (87,465), the day before more than 1,000 prisoners were released as part of the government's urgent measures to facilitate overcrowding.

The ministers have also promised to find 14,000 cell rooms in prisons in the context of other long -term measures to remedy prisons and to revive the re -decline by 2031.

Prison Minister Lord James Timpson said: “It cannot be correct that British taxpayers have complied with the legislative template for the prison of foreign criminals who have brought our communities into misery.

“According to this government, the distances rose by almost 20 percent. We are now taking measures to ensure that this is cut to reduce the pressure on overcrowded prisons and on the public handbag.

“This is part of our change plan – attaching the broken prison system that we inherited and keeping the safety of our streets.”
