Thread: Cost of Immigration

The former chief inspector of prisons today called for earlier deportation for foreign inmates, following the revelation that two British prisons were now exclusively housing foreign inmates.

Lord Ramsbotham said he supported the opening of the two foreign inmates-only prisons, at a cost of £15m, but that holding 500 separately, out of 11,000 in the UK, was "merely scratching the surface of a bigger problem".

A senior union leader has described Bullwood Hall jail in Essex, which has 184 inmates, and Canterbury in Kent, with 284, as holding the 'United Nations of offenders'.

Look at the money involved : 11,000 / 500 (22 x £15,000,000) - I make it over 300 million pounds.
