A review of the failure of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate to consider some foreign national prisoners for deportation


This review has sought to understand why the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) of the Home Office over a number of years failed to consider for deportation the cases of some serious foreign national prisoners. The review has looked at the development of the Criminal Casework Team (CCT) which was responsible for considering these cases, and has examined in particular the three years from the end of 2002, when the problem began to grow, to April 2006, when it became public.
