So why were they in prisons? Do we want criminals in Pakistan?

Could be for various reasons, but not necessarily all are criminals,

"Malaysia is also recognized as a destination and a transit country for trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants, with migrants often falling prey to scrupulous recruiters which leaves them stranded and undocumented."

"These workers face visa problems, incomplete documents and lack of money to buy ticket to return to home country."
