U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons: Criminal Alien Report March 2020
The United States having a significant foreign national population residing within the nation’s 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 clearly 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 (Note: The most recent BOP crime numbers available were from March 28, 2020.).
Inmate Citizenship:
- Mexico 19,555 inmates, 11.2 percent;
- Colombia 1,634 inmates, 0.9 percent;
- Dominican Republic 1,407 inmates, 0.8 percent;
- Cuba 1,072 inmates, 0.6 percent;
- Other / unknown countries 8,883 inmates, 5.1 percent;
- United States 142,171 inmates, 81.4 percent;
Total Inmates: 174,722 inmates.
To explain the meaning of these preceding criminal alien inmate numbers and percentages, I will translate them into words:
Combining March 28th BOP criminal alien inmate numbers, there were 32,551 criminal aliens in the BOP prison system. Alien inmates were 18.6 percent of the federal prison population.
With 19,555 Mexican nationals being incarcerated in the BOP prison system, at 60.1 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 9,646 inmates in the BOP prison system incarcerated for immigration crimes; they were 5.9 percent of the federal prison population.
