MP propose deportation of expatriate prisoners

MP Mubarak Al-Khurainej has presented a proposal on the deportation of expatriate prisoners to continue serving time in their home countries. In his proposal, he proposed that all expatriate prisoners except those who committed murder, rape and financial crimes unless the aggrieved party waives his right must be deported to their own country to continue the jail term.

The lawmaker also stressed the need to take the fingerprints and image scan for deported prisoners to ensure they don’t return to the country. He said his proposal is important due to the huge number of expatriate prisoners in the Central Prison. He argued this situation causes many problems, rebellion inside the prison and vices among the prisoners; not to mention the high cost of retaining these inmates until completion of their sentence to be followed by deportation.
