13,300 in May 2009 (up 270). Within this total, the untried population increased 5 per 
cent (up 410) to 8,800 and the convicted unsentenced population went down 3 per cent (down 140), to 4,400. - Amongst the remand population the changes since May 2008 by offence group were all 
less than 100 apart from violence against the person offences which increased by 7 per cent (up 230).

## Notes Data Sources And Quality

The data presented in this brief are drawn from the prison administrative IT systems.  
Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system.  While the figures shown have been checked as far as practicable, they should be regarded as approximate and not necessarily accurate to the last whole number shown in the tables.  They are fit to be used for purposes of looking at trends and for comparing the relative magnitude of components. The prison population information has been drawn from two prison sources.  The first source is the routine provision by prison establishments of records of the numbers of persons held in custody at the end of each month, broadly subdivided according to age, sex, custody type and sentence length. The records are collated and processed centrally, to produce the main estimates of the end of month population presented.  The second source is the electronically held details for individual inmates such as date of birth, sex, religion, ethnic origin, custody type, offence, and reception and discharge dates and, for sentenced prisoners, sentence length. These data are collected on a central computer database and are used to produce the analyses by offence group and individual year of age. They form the basis of detailed population breakdowns, supplementing the aggregates derived from the first source, to which they are scaled for consistency. A new more detailed method of scaling this information was developed in 2004. Because the detailed population breakdowns have been scaled and also rounded to the nearest whole number, individual components may not sum to the totals. Unless otherwise stated, numbers in the text have been rounded for ease of reading using the following rules: 
Numbers of 100,000 and over are rounded to the nearest 1,000 Numbers from 1,000 - 99,999 are rounded to the nearest 100 Numbers from 10 - 999 are rounded to the nearest 10 Numbers under 10 are unrounded. 

Information on the population in STCs and SCHs has been supplied by the Youth Justice Board. All figures are provisional pending publication of the annual Offender Management Caseload Statistics. 

## Definitions

Population in custody - this includes those held in prison establishments, police cells under Operation Safeguard, secure training centres (STCs) and secure children's homes (SCHs). This is a change to previous outputs (notably Prison Population Monthly Brief and Prison Statistics England and Wales) where the reference to 'population in custody' just covered those held in prison establishments and police cells. All coverage is for England and Wales. 

Population in prison - this includes those held in prisons in England and Wales, including the three removal centres of Dover, Haslar and Lindholme. Sentenced population - this includes those sentenced to an immediate custodial sentence and fine defaulters. 

 
Immediate custodial sentence - this does not include fine defaulters. Adult prisoners - these are prisoners aged 21 years and over. 

 
Young adults - these are prisoners aged 18 to 20, but including 21 year old prisoners who were aged 20 or under at conviction who have not been reclassified as part of the adult population Indeterminate sentences - these cover life sentences and indeterminate sentences for public protection (IPP).
