§ Paul GogginsInformation from the Prison Service information system records that in 2003 there were 13,261 young offenders aged 18 to 20 received into prison establishments in England and Wales under immediate custodial sentence. There were 9,013 received as untried and 8,359 received as convicted unsentenced into prison establishments in England and Wales.
Total receptions cannot be calculated by adding together receptions in each category, because there is double counting.
