Yes, but it would depend on the seriousness of their crime. If in their country they had to steal to eat and they steal a chocolate bar then no. Let them due their time and get some help. Something like murder yes
@9W7YCTK6mos6MO
if they committ a serious crime and show no remorse then if its safe for them Togo back then send them after their sentence is served.
@9RCBWG69mos9MO
No, not by default. Only if the crime was intentional, violent, and/or the risk of reoffending is considered high.

@8VT5D8S4yrs4Y

@8VK9CDW4yrs4Y

@989573X2yrs2Y
Case by case situation. If they are dangerous to society, yes.
@8T3N7LT4yrs4Y
no but they should be threatened with it and told to do better or they cannot stay
@8RD6DMW4yrs4Y
They would then be expedited back to their own country to possibly face no charges or worse charges
