"My message to foreign criminals is clear: 'Break Britain's laws and you will be deported in record time'"...
The United Kingdom is tightening measures against people convicted of various crimes, who are serving sentences in prisons on the island, who will be deported to their countries. It was the Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, who announced the new measures, which will conclude with the return of each convict to their country of origin.
This entire new scheme, which is expected to be approved and implemented, is estimated to save UK taxpayers almost £600 million per year.
Convicts, including rapists, thieves and drug traffickers, who have been given prison sentences will face immediate deportation.
Offenders who are deported are then banned from re-entering the UK.
Terrorists, murderers and others born abroad serving life sentences will have to complete their prison sentences before being considered for deportation.
Ms Mahmood told The Sun that “my message to foreign criminals is clear: ‘break Britain’s laws and you will be deported in record time.’”
"Those who have abused this country's proud hospitality should not expect free accommodation and food at taxpayer expense."
"So, today, I am announcing immediate deportation upon conviction," she explained.
The British official went on to say that "this will speed up the removal of foreign offenders who are filling our prisons, with deportations already up 14 percent compared to the same time last year."
An existing change to the law, expected to come into effect next month, stipulates that foreign prisoners will face deportation once they have served 30 percent of their sentence instead of the current 50 percent.
But under the latest change, which will come into effect in the New Year, they will be sent straight home. The measure will apply to all foreigners in detention and those newly convicted.
The number of foreign offenders in UK prisons is now higher than at any point since 2013.
At the end of June, there were 10,722 foreign criminals and suspects in UK prison cells, including 1,731 for sex offences.
Taxpayers pay £54,000 a year for each seat.
Critics have raised concerns that prisoners may try to use human rights laws to avoid deportation.
Government sources pointed to plans to tighten the use of Article 8, the right to a family life, from the European Convention on Human Rights.
The latest data from the Ministry of Justice shows that on June 30, 2025, there were 10,772 foreign nationals in detention.
They made up 12 percent of the total prison population of 87,334 people. Albanians make up the largest percentage of foreigners in prisons.
How would it work?
A foreign national is sentenced to detention in Britain.
From the moment he is convicted, the United Kingdom begins work on their deportation.
Once the deportation order is issued, they leave the country.
Currently, there is an option where they must serve half of their sentence initially, in one of the prisons. /Adapted from The Sun/
