Channel migrants are 24 times more likely to be in prison than Brits, analysis by the Conservative Party shows. This is a dramatically larger share than the average for Brits, which comes to just 0.14 per cent, studies show. It is also said to be 18 times higher than the ratio of the total migrant population that is in prison, which is 0.18 per cent. For Albanians, the figure is 6 per cent, among Iraqis it is 2.7 per cent, while 1.6 per cent of Iranians are in prison. Those from the main nationalities arriving are far more likely to commit crime and end up in prison than the general population.
