  • foreign nationals who had served a sentence in a UK prison, having been convicted of a criminal offence, and were due to be deported as a result (known as time served foreign national offenders or TSFNOs);1
  • individuals whose applications for asylum had been rejected and others thought to have entered or remained in the UK illegally; and
  • those whose applications for asylum were still being considered.
