Criminals such as people smugglers who end up in UK prisons will be deported (Image: PA)
Immigration “crack squads” will be deployed to prisons to speed up deportations of foreign offenders. The special teams are being launched to stop dangerous figures from overseas returning to the streets of Britain.
The ￡5million will see staff sent to 80 jails with “one clear mission – speeding up the removal of prisoners who have no right to be in this country.”

Foreign offenders make up around 12% of the prison population at a time when there is strong concern about lack of spaces for new inmates. The Ministry of Justice says “deporting them sooner will help save taxpayers’ millions while easing the capacity crisis”. It boasts that 23% more foreign offenders have been removed since July last year compared to the same period in 2023.
James Timpson, the minister for prisons, probation and reducing reoffending, said: “It cannot be right for British taxpayers to foot the bill for jailing foreign criminals who have brought misery to our communities. Under this Government removals are up by nearly a quarter. We’re now taking action to ensure this is done swifter, easing pressure on overcrowded prisons and on the public purse.”
