Just looked at the breakdown of religions on page 72 of the prison report kindly provided by UB . Just over 30% of the prisoners are Muslim - that is a frightening statistic when one considers the Muslim faith makes up just 5% of the UK population . Perhaps the location in Birmingham has something to do with that, but even when location is taken into account, those stats are terrifying .
As the number of Muslims continues to rise at a disproportionately much higher rate than those of other faiths, it appears from these statistics we'll need a massive prison building programme in the decades to come .
I think Muslims make up just 0.5% of your population. On that basis UB , if I was younger , I'd be tempted to join you in South Korea !
