Today's news says 2 jails have been converted to "special" jails; They have translator services and special food and requirements for very high level foreign criminals. (Low level foreign criminals are not in jail and those with recently given UK passports are not considered foreign).But what is it costing us? and should it be deducted from the "benefits" of mass immigration? Thay are supposed to be awaiting deportation but in the past this never happened.

Also there are 11,000 other dangerous foreign prisoners in other jails with UK prisoners.Total so far admitted 22,000.

It seems the 11,000 is the total, but see the article it indicates that another 11,000 are kept with British prisoners. Anyhow they cost £38,000 each a year to keep in muti translator and special meals prisons

Far too much is the quick answer.This is a massive problem quickly swept over by the media for fear of being labeled racist. Racism is a word used far too swiftly these days.how are we to look at serious problems concerning foreign visitors/immigrants without "discriminating".british citizens are our own problem,foreign citizens are someone else's so why should we deal with them?Deportation is the only answer to most of these issues regardless of their country of origin's record of human rights.Why should we become a haven for foreign criminals just to uphold their human rights?
Our grandfathers and the like that fought to keep this country what it was are turning in their graves at what we have let happen through apathy and bowing to lawyers' selfish agendas.

A translator called out to a police station costs £300 plus.Fact
from policeman speaking in the pub.This is one of the reasons
immigration is costing councils more and more money.Why
council tax will rise by an average £4 60 next year.With new stealth taxes.Higher water costs for the amount of toilets-baths
showers -sinks in your home.Structures.Gazebo-shed -kennels
etc and others.Expect to be able to find another £7-£800.

The article is badly written but foreign criminal numbers are massively disproportionate to the numbers of migrants in the UK . I wonder what the "non dangerous" figure is?
The problem needs to be faced and the deniers should be shown how unpatriotic they are

Translators are earning in the region of £80k at the moment because there is so much demand for them - and many of them are from other countries outside of GB. One of the main problems is that you cannot have just one translator - you need one for each language that is spoken, so it becomes pointless employing any one translator, so they get hired on a hourly or daily basis - which of course is far more expensive...

Why do you think our taxes have gone up so much??
Are they good for the economy or good for the labour vote ???
