Only if it is safe to return to their own country. If not keep them in prison in the UK so they still serve time. .

@8Y83KX72yrs2Y
Mostly no, and not automatically. If their immigration/residency status would still be valid time-wise at the end of their sentence, then they should not be deported. Otherwise it could be considered on a case-by-case basis.
@8Y5HBZ92yrs2Y
If they do not have a British passport then deportation to a safe, allied or commonwealth country should be a legal option but not a mandate
