About one in four federal inmates are either an illegal alien, legal immigrant, or suspected foreign-born criminal, a new federal report concludes.
In total, there were nearly 240,000 inmates in the federal prison system as of 2018, a Department of Justice (DOJ) report finds. Of that total, nearly 60,000 of those prisoners were illegal aliens and legal immigrants who have been ordered to be deported, were in proceedings to be deported, or were currently under investigation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to confirm their foreign-born status.
This dictates that about one in four — or about 25 percent — federal inmates are born outside the U.S. and came to the country either illegally or legally.
In Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody, alone, foreign-born prisoners account for more than 20 percent of the total federal prison population. This confirms that about one in five federal inmates in BOP custody are foreign-born. There were nearly 40,000 foreign-born inmates in BOP custody as of 2018.

And that's only the ones that got caught and convicted
ReplyDeleteDon't blame a system that keeps men and women in chains rather than rehabilitating and reforming them. Blame illegals. It's what the GOP are doing to keep you scared in your homes and voting for them in the next election.
ReplyDeleteIgnore the fact that we still have prisons that run for profit. Why would you want your cash cows to get out and stop committing crimes? People are still serving lengthy sentences for weed that is legal in multiple states.
SHUT UP WITH THAT LOGIC ITS ILLEGALS!!!!! It costs 40 billion a year to support prisoners. The cost of an inmate per year is more than most of the lower class makes in a year.
