Last year, Switzerland imprisoned 9,297 people, with 67 percent of them foreigners... The number of foreigners in the prison population has tripled since the 1980s. Men still account for the vast majority of offenders, accounting for 90.6 percent of all prisoners, while 9.4 percent of all prisoners are women. The rate of foreigners in Swiss prisons has remained relatively stable over the last 10 years, but the overall number of prisoners has also jumped significantly. The vast majority of prisoners are incarcerated for minor offenses, such as petty theft. In some cases, if offenders are unable or unwilling to pay a fine, they can be incarcerated in Switzerland. Many prisoners are serving sentences between five and 90 days.  It is unclear the exact breakdown of the foreign prison population in 2023. Switzerland has many foreign European nationals residing in the country, but many of those arrested and imprisoned are non-EU nationals.

The place is so bloody expensive, I can believe non nationals would commit crime there just to beat cost of living! You need deep pockets to be there!

Eliminate non-white foreign scum from our presence, and stop feeding them.
