Mr. Boateng

I have placed the information requested in the Library.

Complete records are only available centrally for periods since 1996–97. Only prisons that were operational for the years 1996–97 to 1999–2000 have been included.

The Prison Service does not collect incident data by category of prisoner. Instead the category of prison is shown. Prisons are categorised by their main function only.
