Notes

(1) Due to data quality concerns and a problem with the supply of data between 1 April 2014 and 30 June 2014, an establishment breakdown of first receptions during 2014 is unavailable.

(2) HMP Peterborough has a male prison and a female prison on the site. The figures presented here are a total of the male and female prison receptions.

Data sources and quality

The figures in these tables have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.

The average length of time spent by prisoners on remand in each prison for each year since 2010 could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
