Taiwan and Britain have moved two more British prisoners home to serve out their sentences, a quiet but steady win for both governments' justice cooperation.

• Two British inmates held in Taiwan were handed over to UK officials in late September and early October.
• They are the fourth and fifth transfers since Taiwan and Britain signed a prisoner transfer agreement.
• UK prison and probation staff traveled to Taiwan to collect them and will enforce the rest of their sentences at home.
• Taiwan's justice ministry says sending foreign inmates home lets families visit and makes it easier for prisoners to rebuild their lives afterward.
• The handovers took a multi-agency effort, pulling in Taiwan's foreign ministry, immigration, investigators, prison authorities and prosecutors alongside the British office in Taipei.

Outlook: With a working process now in place, more transfers between Taiwan and Britain are likely to follow.
