We are committed to increasing the number of Foreign National Offenders removed from the United Kingdom. Since 2010, over 33,000 foreign national offenders have been removed; with 5,810 removed from prisons, immigration removal centres and the community in 2015/16. The Early Removal Scheme is the principal method for removing foreign national offenders early from prison. In 2015/16, 2071 foreign national offenders were removed under this scheme. The compulsory transfer of prisoners outside the European Union is less straightforward and may be affected by issues such as prison conditions or the prevailing security situation in a country. Turkey has only recently implemented a compulsory transfer arrangements. Eligible Turkish nationals are currently being identified for transfer. The table below shows the number of prisoners transferred to prisons in their own countries under compulsory prisoner transfer arrangements (other than the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision). The United Kingdom does not have a prisoner transfer agreement with Jamaica.

Since 2010, over 33,000 FNOs have been removed; with 5,810 removed from prisons, immigration removal centres and the community in 2015/16. The Early Removal Scheme (ERS) is the principal method for removing foreign national offenders early from prison. In 2015/16, 2071 foreign national offenders were removed under this scheme. In addition, prisoners may be transferred to a prison in their own country. The principal compulsory prisoner transfer scheme is the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Directive (Council Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA). All eligible prisoners are identified for transfer and referred to the Home Office for deportation action. Once a deportation order is obtained, a decision is made whether to remove the prisoner under ERS or to seek transfer of the prisoner. The EU PTA came into force in December 2011, with Member States implementing the Agreement at various dates from then onwards, and 2 Member States have yet to do so. The table below shows the numbers of prisoners who have been transferred from England and Wales to prisons in other Member States of the European Union under the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision as at 31 December 2016. To date no transfers have yet taken place under the EU Prisoner Transfer Agreement to Member States not shown in the table. However, some transfers will have taken place to some of these countries under other transfer arrangements.

We are committed to increasing the number of Foreign National Offenders (FNOs) removed from our prisons. Prisoners should serve their sentences in their home countries wherever possible, reducing the burden on the taxpayer. To this end the United Kingdom is a party to over 100 multi-national and bilateral agreements which provide for the transfer of a prisoner either on a voluntary or compulsory basis. Prisoner transfers are one of three mechanisms available for the early removal of FNOs; the others being the Early Removal Scheme (ERS) and the Tariff Expired Removal Scheme (TERS). In 2015/16, 2,071 FNOs were removed via ERS, 52 via TERS, and 62 via PTAs. The EU PTA came into force in December 2011; Member States implemented the agreement at various dates between 2011 and 2015 (2 Member States have not yet implemented the Agreement). To date we have transferred 154 EU national prisoners to their home countries under this Agreement. Compulsory PTAs are also in place with Albania, Georgia, Libya, Moldova, Montenegro, Nigeria, Norway, Russia, Rwanda, San Marino, Serbia, Somaliland, Switzerland, Turkey, and Ukraine. A total of 18 FNOs have been returned under these arrangements. A further 103 prisoners have been transferred on a voluntary basis to a range of countries across the world over this same period since December 2011.
