Almost half of the prison population are foreign
And from 3 countries. Albanian, Poland, and Vietnam

27% of Eritreans in Scotland are in prison
22% of Somalians are locked up. Incredibly shocking numbers


No other foreign group is above 2%

Hopefully the SNP will spend 500 million to build another prison so we can properly welcome and accommodate these people.

Try learning to read, perhaps a remedial class?

From your link, half-scotlands-foreign-prisoners-from-just-three-countries. Not "half Scotland's prisoners". 

Also from the article

Stephen Kerr, a Conservative MSP, obtained Scottish Prison Service (SPS) data that show there were 653 foreign nationals in jails north of the border on May 22 this year.

Just over four in 10 of the total were from just three countries – Albania (94), Poland (92) and Vietnam (81).


So the numbers themselves aren't high, though I can't understand why so many Albanians are in the country anyway. They weren't in the EU and their country isn't war torn or run by nutters.

Sad fact is that probably most of them are unemployable, crime is a means to an end.

Scottish prison population is over 8,000.
I expect there'll be a good few sweaties in our jails.
Report dave1357 July 31, 2025 6:45 PM BST
Is there a competition for who is the most stupid among the class of 25 forum joiners?

The Scottish prison population is not 1300.

The Scottish prison population is about 8000.

The article states that half the foreign prison population (653) comes from the countries mentioned. Not half of the entire prison population.

btw there is a lot of malleable data in this area but it's reasonable to state that the foreign born prison population doesn't seem to be vastly out of line with their prevelance in society (about 8% in both). Although it isn't unreasonable to expect people coming to live in a country to behave themselves.

leave me out poncho

whats unsurprising is the numbers of albanians claiming asylum, when they clearly are not refugees and once they are in they rarely get chucked out and a network of criminals now embedded in the uk provides them with whatever they need to go under the radar, at a price. but a few drug deals with sort that out

more incredible is that half of their claims for asylum are granted. no wonder they bust a gut to get here

they from a massively disproportinate number of prisoners and nobody will deny their propensity for crime yet still we let them in

abernoidea might explain why
Report Shrewd_dude July 31, 2025 7:51 PM BST
Whilst the OP is talking nonsense he is still raising the point about why the foreign prison population is so skewed towards particular nationalities.

I mean there is a lot of Polish people in Scotland so thats probably representative of a similar demographic to the locals.

But Eritreans and Albanians...
