I seem to recall Britain giving Nigeria a million quid to improve their prisons under the terms of a bilateral prisoner exchange scheme so we are footing a bill and when you think about it what exactly is the incentive for countries like Nigeria to take these people back apart from bribes, obviously we can't wait to get our drug mules for instance back from Peru to make their little lives easier and turn them into z list celebrities upon release. Vietnam is high up the list of foreign criminals here and whilst their jail conditions are truly awful, if you've got a few quid they improve remarkably. Imo if you commit a crime in a country you serve your sentence there so the victims of your crime and that society as a whole can see justice being served.
