Nigel Farage is in talks with El Salvador to send some 10,000 foreign inmates accommodated in UK facilities. As of early this year, the British prison system was at 99% capacity. The government almost paused non-priority arrests to prevent overcrowding in prison.
Against this backdrop, Reform UK, which Farage leads, is seriously considering deporting thousands of non-UK prisoners. A delegation from the party is headed to El Salvador within the next few months to visit the nation's 'mega prison' and discuss the possibility of renting space, according to The Sun.
