LETTER: Why should we fund prison stay?

Having read your page three article re a migrant who admitted burglaries – it said that after serving his time in custody – he will then be removed from the UK.

Why should the English taxpayer fund his stay in prison when he will be deported at the end of it?

Surely there must be a way to deport the criminal at an earlier stage.

Can we be told as and when he is deported – if indeed that does happen!
