Offenders: Foreign Nationals

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of foreign national offenders were categorised as non-criminal prisoners in each of the last years.

Answer

Information on the number of Foreign National prisoners by custody type (including ‘non-criminal) is routinely published in the department’s Offender Management Statistics Quarterly release. This data can be found in Table A1.11 at the following link:

The proportion of ‘non-criminals’ as a percentage of the total Foreign National prison population can be calculated from the figures in the linked table.
