This publication provides key statistics relating to offenders who are in prison or under Probation Service supervision in England and Wales.
Documents
Details
Latest figures for the quarter January to March 2014 are provided and compared to the same period in 2013 for flows into these services (receptions into prison or probation starts) and flows out (releases from prison or probation terminations) as well as the caseload of both services at specific points in time.
This is with the exception of the prison population where more recent data are available (30 June 2014). Between the end of June 2013 and the end of June 2014, the prison population increased by 2% from 83,842 to 85,509. The majority of this is explained by the remand population which increased by 11% from 10,971 to 12,197 over the same period. Changes to the sentenced population explain the rest of the increase.
