The table below shows the number of foreign national offenders removed under prisoner transfer agreements in each year since 2020, including 2024 to date:

2020

81

2021

73

2022

50

2023

33

2024

74

As the number of foreign national prisoners is constantly changing, it is not possible to represent the above figures as a proportion of the total.
