Prisoners: Vietnamese Prisoners

Answer

The table below lists those prisons which at 31 December 2013 held prisoners who gave their nationality as Vietnamese.

There are no plans to concentrate foreign national prisoners in fewer prisons on the basis of their nationality alone.

Access to translation facilities is available in all prisons to enable staff to communicate with prisoners who are unable to speak English.
