As at 8 June there were 232 males and seven females serving sentences at military detention centres in England. There are no detention centres in Wales. In the Army and RAF sentences of less than 28 days are served at local establishments. The numbers detained at local establishments are not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
