US EditionNigel Farage says he would send violent offenders to El Salvador under crime crackdown
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 21 – Reform UK plans to create up to 30,000 new prison places, including overseas rental in countries like El Salvador, aiming to halve crime and cut prison costs by ending early release.
- Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, announced on Monday plans to halve crime in five years by building new prisons and sending violent offenders overseas, including El Salvador.
- Farage cited rising crime rates and prison overcrowding, claiming parts of Britain face "nothing short of societal collapse," and said he discussed prisoner returns with Albania's prime minister Edi Rama.
- The plan includes creating around 30,000 prison places by building five new Ministry of Defence prisons with 12,400 spaces and freeing over 10,000 places by deporting foreign criminals via bilateral agreements.
- Reform UK projects that their plan will require £17.4 billion over five years, with Nigel Farage emphasizing that the issue is not whether the country can bear the cost, but rather that it cannot afford to ignore it.
- Critics called the policies unfunded and unrealistic, with Labour and Conservatives dismissing the plans as headline-chasing and the government ruling out sending prisoners overseas.
