<p>Foreign national offenders who have no right to remain in the UK should be removed
at the earliest opportunity and the Government has toughened the system, including
pursuing compulsory transfer agreements with European countries.</p><p> </p><p>In
addition, 23,000 foreign offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010 and more
than 600 under the 'deport first, appeal later' provisions, with many more being processed
through the system. The grounds on which criminals can appeal against deportation
have been cut.</p><p> </p><p>The table below details the offence types for the sentenced
prison population in England and Wales, as of 31 December 2014. It also provides a
breakdown to indicate whether the offender was a foreign national, a UK national,
or nationality not recorded. As the table records only sentenced prisoners, it does
not include remand prisoners, fine defaulters, civil prisoners or recalled prisoners.</p><p>
