World Prison Brief data cited in Economist article on foreign national prisoners
World Prison Brief data has been cited in an article in The Economist looking at the increasing number of European countries that are renting prison cells in neighbouring countries to reduce prison overcrowding by sending their foreign national prisoners there.
ICPR’s Catherine Heard is quoted in the article, saying ““Rather than accepting that decades of tougher sentencing policies are what caused the crisis, not foreign criminals, it is politically easier to reach for a headline-grabber, like deportation to Kosovo.”
