I'd be more interested in why all ethnic groups are over-represented in the prison population, except the Chinese.

Well it's not unpaid council tax.
2016.

One in five inmates serving sentences in Britain's maximum security jails are Muslim, figures show.

The number of Muslims in prison for drug offences in England and Wales has jumped by 63 per cent over seven years, rising from 2,089 in 2010 to 3,406 in 2017, according to figures obtained by The Independent using Freedom of Information laws.
Over the same period, the number of non-Muslims in prison for drug offences has declined by more than 10 per cent.

More than a quarter of all Muslims currently in prison have been incarcerated because of drug offences, compared to 13 per cent of all non-Muslim prisoners.
