Empty British Prisons, of Foreigners!

Sir Keir Starmer's plan is ridiculous. There are alternatives.

Britain’s newly elected Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, and his prisons minister, James Timpson, are due to announce a series of measures to reduce the prison population of the UK.

This prison population is at breaking point with some 87,505 people in British prisons as of May 2024. The UK prison system is only equipped to handle about 89,000 prisoners and emergency measures, such as housing prisoners in jail cells, have been in place for some time. Now the Starmer government is looking at releasing prisoners early.

According to the Guardian, the government will not release those charged with sex crimes, violent crimes, or those convicted of terrorism charges. There are several problems with this approach, namely that the UK has seen a recent rise in American-style plea-bargaining. Often what happens is that criminals plead guilty to lesser crimes (say assault rather than attempted murder) and receive a reduced sentence on this agreement. This plea-bargaining process massages the criminal conviction figures for the British government, makes it appear that certain types of violent crime are on the decline, and buries the true reason that a person was arrested in the first place.

The comparisons with America go beyond plea-bargaining as well. The United States, both at the Federal level and in numerous states, has experimented with early release for “non-violent” criminals for several years now. Many of these criminals, who plead guilty on lesser charges in exchange for a plea bargain, then went on to commit heinous violent crimes.

One example is Mr. Sheldon Johnson of New York. Mr. Johnson, an African American advocate of ‘criminal justice reform’ was released from prison and began making a media tour championing criminal justice reform. He appeared on several high-profile podcasts (such as the Joe Rogan show) and was praised by several local and regional politicians for his advocacy. Yet, Mr. Johnson was arrested in March of 2024, barely a year after his release from prison, because a Human torso was found in his New York apartment.

In yet another representative example, Mr. Tiimon Xavier Perry, 25, from Illinois shot and killed a White working-class tow truck driver who attempted to collect the tow fee for towing Perry’s vehicle. Mr. Perry had been arrested for several violent crimes, including domestic battery, armed robbery, aggravated assault of a police officer, and a litany of other violent charges. Yet, Mr. Perry was kept from jail or prison by the Illinois SAFE-T Act, designed to keep as many minority offenders out of prison as possible, so long as they did not commit the “worst of offenses”.

It is likely that Keir Starmer and James Timpson's prison reforms will result in a series of similar incidents being carried out in the United Kingdom. The “one-third” of the prison population which Mr. Timpson claims does not belong behind bars will visit a new wave of crime upon the British public. But, these reforms are not the only options.

A responsible British government could clear the British prison system, and the British Isles, of countless criminals simply by enforcing laws and policies already available to them.

Solutions:

Deporting foreign criminals:

The Home Secretary is able to order the deportation of any foreign criminal if he considers such a deportation to be “conducive to the public good”. This power, granted by the Immigration Act of 1971, is rarely used but should become a commonplace practice.

This power could be used to deport the 10,321 foreign criminals currently occupying British prisons. This contingent of prisoners represents 11.7% of the current UK prison population and it would free up countless prison cells without necessitating the early release of any criminals.

Denaturalizing dual national criminals in the prisons:

According to the Prison Reform Trust some 27% of the British prison population, or 21,537 individuals behind bars, are from an ethnic minority background. A substantial portion of this population will hold or qualify for citizenship in another country. In fact, over 50% of Asians and 40% of Africans in the United Kingdom qualify for or already possess dual nationality.

Assuming that an average of 45% of non-White prisoners in the UK hold or qualify for the citizenship of another state, and subtracting those non-citizen criminals already able to be deported, some 9,707 additional criminals could be deported from Britain rather than released onto the nation’s already crime-ridden streets.

Between these two policy actions, some 22.3% of the British prison population could be deported rather than released, freeing up more than 20,000 cells and radically reducing the overcrowding that the Starmer government seeks to resolve.

Denaturalizing dual national criminals outside of prisons:

According to a report by Unock UK, with a forward written by newly appointed Foreign Secretary David Lammy, some 1.6 million ethnic minority individuals in the United Kingdom have a criminal record.

Much like with those behind bars, the Home Secretary has the power to both denaturalize and deport this demographic as well. This is because the United Kingdom has some of the strongest denaturalization procedures among White countries.

In the case of criminals and any other person with dual citizenship, legislation exists that currently enables the Home Secretary to denaturalize any dual national of the UK, or person able to attain another nationality – determining that an individual is legally subject to denaturalization is achieved by applying one or more of three criteria:

a) should it be considered that doing so is conducive to the public good;

b) if the person obtained their citizenship through fraud, false representation, or concealment; or

c) if the persons has conducted himself or herself in a manner which is, quote: “seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom”.

Criminals, spies, and foreign agents all clearly fall into categories A and B. Minority criminals and anti-British persons are both not conducive to the public good and pose a threat to the UK’s vital interest.

In addition, the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 allows individuals to be deprived of British citizenship by the Home Secretary if denaturalizing the individual would prove conducive to the public good.

This procedure could clear as many as 800,000 non-White criminals off the streets of Britain and send them back to their countries of ancestral origin. This would lead to a radical reduction in the crime rate and allow the British state to free up more prison places over time thanks to a lower crime rate.

Conclusion:

Because the British government, like so many other Western governments, refuses to deal with the reality of demographics and the ethnic composition of society their solutions will forever be inadequate.

Only a reversal of the Great Replacement and a set of coordinated policies to free White countries of foreign origin populations will allow a reduction in crime, a reduction in prison overcrowding, and an easing of the ever-growing police state.
