The figures in the "Capacity" columns of the table refer to operational capacity: the total number of prisoners that an establishment can hold, taking into account control, security and the proper operation of the planned regime. It is determined by area managers on the basis of operational judgement and experience.
The figures in "Population" columns in the table may include prisoners out on authorised absence, which can cause the official population to appear slightly higher than the operational capacity.
