Blogger Comment: Politicians are our greatest threat and western civilization’s continual human disaster with their globalist control and acting for the elites in destroying western nations, as they have not the sheer intelligence to see the dire, dreadful and continual ramifications that they sow on humanity, where this single statistic against the German people is a small example of their malevolent intentions against the people…but where western politicians are captured and just a part of the Globalist cult agenda against humanity to totally destroy western civilization forever and where the Globalist elites control them 100%…pure fact not fiction anymore…

Foreign nationals now account for nearly 45% of Germany’s prison population, according to figures obtained from all 16 state justice ministries, with the rate approaching 60% in Berlin and Hamburg.
An analysis by the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung found that 27,000 of the 60,408 people held in German prisons or pretrial detention as of March 2026 did not have German citizenship.
That puts the nationwide share of foreign prisoners at a record 44.8%, up from approximately 30% in 2015.
Foreign Prisoner Rates Near 60% in Major Cities
The figures classify dual nationals and foreign-born individuals with German citizenship as German, meaning the number of foreign-born inmates is likely higher than the official total.
Berlin recorded the highest proportion, with foreign nationals making up 59% of prisoners.
Hamburg followed at 58%.
Non-German citizens also represented more than half of the prison populations in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, and Hesse.
The rates were lower in eastern Germany, where approximately one-quarter of inmates in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia were foreign citizens.
Foreign prisoners most commonly came from Eastern European and Arab countries, according to the newspaper.
Their share of the prison population is sharply disproportionate to their share of Germany’s general population, where foreign nationals account for just under 17%.
Prison Officers Warn of Language Barriers and Radicalization
The German Association of Prison Officers said the changing prison population is placing additional pressure on an already strained correctional system.
“Language barriers are a major problem,” association chairman René Müller told the newspaper.
Müller said interpreters are not always available and that translation technology cannot replace the direct communication needed to address inmates’ problems or prepare them for release.
“Our officers are finding it increasingly difficult to rehabilitate inmates and are struggling to connect with them,” Müller said.
He warned that communication failures can fuel aggression, encourage inmates to form isolated subcultures, and increase the risk of Muslim prisoners becoming radicalized behind bars.
Bavaria’s Justice Ministry also cited language difficulties and “culturally determined behaviors” that can create serious conflicts between inmates and prison staff.
Lawmaker Blames Germany’s Migration Policies
A 2024 estimate found that Germany’s prison system cost taxpayers approximately €4.14 billion annually, with about €1.82 billion spent incarcerating foreign nationals.
At the time, foreign prisoners already made up more than half of the inmate population in several German states.
Alternative for Germany lawmaker Martin Hess said the figures reflected the consequences of the country’s migration policies.
“Around 15 percent of people living in Germany are foreigners,” Hess said.
“However, their share of suspects, convicted persons, and prisoners is disproportionately high.”
Hess, a former police officer, called for stricter deportations and a complete reversal of Germany’s migration policy.
He argued that foreign criminality presents both a public safety threat and a significant financial burden for German taxpayers.
