May Report: 20% of US Prison Population is Criminal Aliens
U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons: Criminal Alien Report May 2018
By David Olen Cross
The United States having a significant foreign national population residing within the nations boundaries, be they legally or illegally present in the country, unfortunately includes those who commit crimes.
The extent and impact of foreign national crime on the U.S. citizens and residents of this country is explicitly revealed by a simple search on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmates statistics website under the heading of inmate citizenship.
Here are the countries of origin, moreover, the number and percentage of those countries citizens recently incarcerated in the U.S. BOP prison system (The most recent BOP crime numbers available were from May 26, 2018.).
Inmate Citizenship:
– México 23,532 inmates, 12.8 percent;
– Colombia 1,677 inmates, 0.9 percent;
– Dominican Republic 1,461 inmates, 0.8 percent;
– Cuba 1,156 inmates, 0.6 percent;
– Other / unknown countries 9,063 inmates, 4.9 percent;
– United States 146,331 inmates, 79.9 percent;
Total Inmates: 183,220 inmates.
To clarify the meaning of these preceding criminal alien inmate numbers and percentages, I will translate them into words:
Combining May 26th BOP criminal alien inmate numbers, there were 36,889 criminal aliens in the BOP prison system.
Alien inmates were 20.1 percent of the federal prison population; more than two in every ten inmates were criminal aliens.
With 23,532 Mexican nationals being incarcerated in the BOP prison system, at 63.8 percent, they were the vast majority of criminal aliens in federal prisons.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons breaks down the federal prison population into 13 types of offenses. One of the top five offenses, the reason inmates are serving time in federal prisons is for immigration crimes. There were 12,115 inmates in the BOP prison system incarcerated for immigration crimes; they were 7.1 percent of the federal prison population.
