British prisons could end up housing more Albanian offenders than prisons in their homeland without action to tackle the migrant crisis.

Activists warn that Great Britain risks becoming the "Alcatraz of Albania" if the number of criminals from the Balkan country continues to grow at the current rate. Official figures show there were 180 Albanians behind bars in the UK in 2012, but by last year, the number had risen almost ninefold to more than 1,500.

Ministers have been warned that if the number continues to grow at this rate, they will exceed the number of 5,000 offenders in Albanian prisons in just four years.

Four out of 10 people who make the dangerous crossing of the Channel in small boats or arrive in trucks are already from Albania.

While some are fleeing poverty or persecution in their peaceful homeland, there are growing fears that criminal elements lurk among the economic migrants who enter Britain illegally.

About 1,075 Albanians crossed the Channel in small boats organized by people-smuggling gangs over six weeks this summer.

The gangs are said to be buying large boats from Chinese factories and asking the manufacturers to make them even bigger.

At the end of 2021, Albanians made up the largest number of foreign nationals in prisons in England and Wales, accounting for almost twice the number of Poles.

UK Reform leader Richard Tice said: “In July 2021, Justice Secretary Chris Philp enthusiastically announced a new prisoner return scheme in Albania, suggesting that British taxpayers could help pay for a new prison there".

“Six months later, only 24 of the lighter targets had gone home. At the current rate of growth, within just four years, there will be more Albanians in the prisons of Great Britain than Albanians in the Albanian prisons, where there are currently 5,000 prisoners".

"Instead of supporting Albania to build a new prison there, we can build a special one for them here."

Mr Tice, a former MP, added: “The UK is becoming Albania's Alcatraz. For the Albanian government, all this works well. Let the undesirables go to the UK and they will reduce their crime problem.”

Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shipley, W Yorks, said: “These figures are a kick in the teeth for Lefty charities who think we should continue to take in all those arriving by dinghy.

"Not only is it a huge cost to the taxpayer, but we seem to be creating completely unnecessary victims of crime. The audience is at the end of his relationship [and] they want it resolved once and for all.”

But Ahmet Erdi, senior lecturer in politics and international relations at London Metropolitan University, argued that many Albanians come to the UK legally.
