We deport from prison frequently (we being aust) and sometimes it is heart breaking. We had a recent case of a 40 yr old italian born guy who's family migrated here when he was 2. He had numerous 'soft' convictions and I spose they'd just had enough of him and deported him to Italy where he has no family left, cant speak the language very well and doesnt know the place.
Before he left, he was in my office crying like a baby & there was absolutely nothing I or anyone could do
Was very sad.
