Foreign prisoners sent home

Posted by Jeff Rees on November 14, 2007 9:11 AM | 

Norwegian officials recently have freed up 27 prison spots -- for a savings of NOK 15 million a year -- by sending foreign criminals back to their home countries. So far this year, 21 foreign prisoners (five from Lithuania) have been transferred, seven of them against their will.

Powers of Prisons in Wales must be transferred to the Senedd. A Welsh Government can make repatriation agreements with other countries too.
