Apparently, foreign inmates now account for 1 in 7 of the UK prison population. Forgive my naivety, but I don't really see the problem in deporting them. If they're going to be at risk in their country of origin, tough; they should have thought of that before they broke the law. If that transgresses the Human Rights Act, then repeal it; it should be easy enough for the government, as they were the ones who introduced it in 1997. Perhaps supporters of this government could explain the error of my ways to me?
