U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons: Criminal Alien Report January 2022

February 3, 2023

By David Olen Cross

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 January 28, 2023.).

Inmate Citizenship:

– Mexico 13,865 inmates, 8.7 percent;
– Colombia 1,666 inmates, 1.0 percent;
– Dominican Republic 1,627 inmates, 1.0 percent;
– Cuba 793 inmates, 0.5 percent;
– Other / unknown countries 8,180 inmates, 5.1 percent;
– United States 132,817 inmates, 83.6 percent;

Total: 158,948 inmates.

To explain the meaning of these preceding criminal alien inmate numbers and percentages, I will translate them into words:

Combining January 28th BOP criminal alien inmate numbers, there were 26,131 criminal aliens in the BOP prison system. Alien inmates were 16.4 percent of the federal prison population.

With 13,865 Mexican nationals being incarcerated in the BOP prison system, at 53.1 percent, they represent a significant 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 7,483 inmates in the BOP prison system incarcerated for immigration crimes; they were 5.0 percent of the federal prison population.
