## Chapter 1: Overview Introduction

This publication provides key statistics relating to offenders who are under Probation Service supervision or are in custody. It covers flows into these services (probation starts or reception into prison) and flows out (terminating probation or discharges from prison) as well as the caseload of both services at specific points in time (31st December for those under Probation Service supervision and 30th June for the prison population). The publication provides the latest figures for 2009 and trends over the past ten years.   
For both groups the bulletin provides statistics relating to the main characteristics of offenders, including details relating to their sentence and offences committed. 

## Trends In The Prison Population

The prison population at end of June 2009 was 83,500, which represented an increase of 0.3 per cent from 2008, the smallest year on year increase in the last ten years. The numbers of prisoners on remand and the overall sentenced population also showed little change from 2008 at 13,500 and 68,500 respectively. However, the numbers serving indeterminate sentences (life sentences and Indeterminate sentences for Public Protection - IPPs) continued to rise from 11,400 to 12,500, an increase of 10 per cent. Over the longer term, the prison population has risen by 29 per cent since 1999 (an increase of 18,900) with a much greater increase in the sentenced population (33 per cent or 17,000) than in the remand population (7 per cent or 900). The female population, which represents 5 per cent of the total, showed a slighter higher increase (up 34 per cent overall from 3,200 in 1999 to 4,300 in 2009) although it fell by 5 per cent from 2008 to 2009. 

## Factors Affecting The Size Of The Prison Population

Almost all of the longer term increase in the prison population took place within two segments - those sentenced to immediate custody and those recalled to prison for breaking the conditions of their release. The growth in the sentenced population was driven by two factors: (a) the courts sentenced more offenders to prison each year between 1999 and 2002; and (b) offenders have been staying in prison for longer. 

## Increase In Numbers Sentenced To Immediate Custody

From 1999 to 2002, increasing numbers of adult1 offenders were sentenced to immediate custody for indictable offences2.  This was partly due to an increase in total numbers being sentenced and also to an increase in the immediate custody rate3 for indictable offences up to 2002.  Since 2002, custody rates have stabilised.  
The increase in the immediate custody rate is part of a wider trend of tougher sentencing outcomes.  In addition to the immediate custody rate increasing, use of suspended sentences increased between 1999 and 2007 (due to the introduction of Suspended Sentence Orders (SSOs) in 2005), and use of fines declined. 

## Increase In Time Served In Custody

From 1999 to 2009, there was an overall increase in the average time served in prison from 7.9 months to 8.8 months for those released from determinate sentences. This was due to an increase in the average custodial determinate sentence length handed down by courts between 2000 and 2004, and a decline in the parole release rate in 06/07 and 07/08 (which meant that offenders had served longer by the time they were released). The introduction of Indeterminate sentences for Public Protection (IPPs) in 2005 initially led to a small decrease in average sentence lengths (which exclude IPPs) but the most recent figures show an increase. The average proportion of determinate sentence served in custody has increased slightly from around 55-57 per cent between 1999 and 2005 to around 59-61 per cent in 2006-2009, partly due to a decline in parole rate. This occurred despite the introduction of the End of Custody Licence scheme in June 2007 which had limited impact on the average time served because it only reduced the time served by a maximum of 18 days, and only affected those serving shorter sentences (4 weeks to less than 4 years)4.

There has also been a steady increase in the number of lifers, while the overall indeterminate population increased rapidly after IPPs were introduced in 2005.  The proportion of the sentenced prison population serving indeterminate sentences (life sentences or IPPs) increased from 8 per cent in 1999 to 18 per cent in 2009.  Taking determinate sentences of 4 years or more together with indeterminate sentences, the population serving these long sentences increased by 12,800 between 1999 and 2009. 

## Increase In Recall Population

Changes to the law have meant that more offenders are liable to be recalled, and to spend longer in custody having been recalled. For more detail see Appendix C. 

A total of 13,900 determinate sentenced offenders were recalled to custody during the year 2009-10, up 18 per cent from 2008-09 (11,800).  
The number of offenders released from prison on Home Detention Curfew (HDC) fell by 2 per cent to 11,500 in 2009, there were 1,400 offenders recalled to prison, 740 more than in 1999 but considerably fewer than the high of 3,000 in 2004. End of Custody Licence (ECL) was introduced on 29 June 2007. In 2009, 29,400 people were released on this scheme. During this period, there were 930 decisions to recall offenders on ECL to custody; 48 per cent of these decisions were for alleged re-offending. The number of people on life licence who were recalled to custody in 2009 increased from 108 in 2008 to 124 in 2009, although this was still lower than previous figures (134 in 2007 and 164 in 2006). 

## What Has Caused The Changes?

Two factors caused the increase in the prison population of England and Wales from 
1999 to 2009: tougher sentencing and enforcement outcomes, and a more serious mix of offence groups coming before the courts. 

Legislative and policy changes have made sentence lengths longer for certain offences (e.g. through the introduction of IPPs, mandatory minimum sentences and increased maximum sentences) and increased the likelihood of offenders being imprisoned for breach of non-custodial sentences or recalled to custody for failure to comply with licence conditions (as imposed on release from prison). The remainder of the prison population increase reflects the increased seriousness of cases coming before the courts.  Two offence groups, violence against the person (VATP) and drug offences, have had a particular impact on the prison population. Increases in both the numbers sentenced and the use of custodial sentences mean more of these offenders are entering prison.  Once in prison these offenders are spending longer there, as reflected in longer average determinate sentence lengths for drug offences, and greater use of indeterminate sentences for VATP offences. Additionally, offenders who have committed serious crimes are less likely to be eligible to be released early on HDC, ECL or on licence. 

Figure 1.1 shows the seasonally adjusted monthly prison population between 1999 and 2009, with policy changes and events shown which may have affected the size of the prison population during this period. 

 

## Trends In The Probation Service Caseload

The population under Probation Service supervision at the end of 2009 was 241,500, a 1 per cent fall from the previous year. However, over the longer term, this figure has increased by 38 per cent from 175,000 in 1999. The number under a court order decreased by 4 per cent between 2008 and 2009, to 
141,000, but showed an overall increase of 28 per cent (109,700 cases) from 19996.   
There were 43,600 people supervised under Suspended Sentence Orders in 2009 (a 1 per cent decrease on 2008), which shows little change since 2007. The number of offenders under pre or post-release supervision increased between 
19996 and 2009, from 68,800 to 102,000, representing an increase of 48 per cent from 19996. This included an increase from 2008 to 2009 of 4 per cent.  

## Factors Affecting The Size Of The Probation Service Caseload

The number of offenders starting court orders has continued to increase slightly in 2009, while the number being supervised at the end of the year (the caseload) has continued to decrease slightly.  The reason for these different trends is that the average sentence length of Community Orders has reduced year on year since they were introduced, meaning that offenders spend less time on the caseload. In 2009 the figure was 13 months compared with 14.9 in 2008 and 22 months when they were introduced in 2005. For the same periods, the average sentence length for those starting SSOs was 17.1 months in both 2009 and 2008 and 18 months in 2005. It is possible that SSOs have drawn in some who would previously have received longer Community Orders, partly explaining the fall in average length for Community Orders.  The falling average could also be explained by the courts targeting these orders more effectively over time, choosing a shorter sentence, for example, with a more effective mix of requirements designed to better manage the offender. There are two main factors relating to the higher caseload under pre or post-release supervision. First, there has been a continued growth in the number of offenders serving custodial sentences of 12 months or more (up 38 per cent between 1999 and 2009) who therefore require supervision on release from custody. Secondly, new arrangements brought in by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 mean that offenders are now spending longer periods on licence after release from custody. 

## Trends In Probation Service Inflows

In 2009, 206,000 people started Probation Service supervision, either under a court order or under pre or post-release supervision from custody, representing little change from the number of starts in 2008, but a 17 per cent increase on 1999.  The number of persons starting supervision increased in each year since 1999, with the exception of 2000 and 2001. The number of starts overall and for court orders are now at their highest ever level. 

In 2009, 167,000 people started court order supervision, an increase of 1 per cent on 2008 and an increase of 32 per cent on 1999. The number of people starting pre or post-release supervision has fallen from 56,600 in 1999 to 46,000 in 2009.  

## Mentally Disordered Offenders

The number of mentally disordered offenders detained in hospital as restricted patients has increased steadily since 1999.  In 2009, there were 4,300 restricted patients, an increase of 8 per cent on 3,900 in 2008. 

## International Comparisons

England and Wales, at 153 prisoners per 100,000 of the general population, had the eighth highest per capita rate in the European Union (EU) and the second highest per capita rate in the EU as it existed prior to the 2004 and 2007 enlargements, after Spain (164). 

Probation Service data in figure 1.2 prior to 2002 has been estimated due to inaccuracies with the data collection system before this time. 

## Changes From Offender Management Caseload Statistics 2008

The content of some tables in chapters 6 to 9 has been estimated because of data quality issues. Any tables where this occurs are footnoted accordingly and the methodology is explained in Appendix B.  Additionally some tables have been omitted or contain less information than previously because data are unavailable or not of sufficient quality. This has resulted in some renumbering of remaining tables. 

There is a new chapter on mentally disordered offenders. These data previously appeared in a separate publication. Serious further offences (previously in tables 5.3 to 5.6) no longer appear in this publication. Information on serious reoffending can be found with more general information on adult reoffending 
(**www.justice.gov.uk/publications/reoffendingofadults.htm**). Information on serious further offences committed by those under Probation Service supervision will be published in a new Ministry of Justice official statistics release later this year. Deaths in Custody (previously in table 9.12) no longer appear in this publication as they are now published elsewhere. See Safety in Custody Statistics 2009 on the Ministry of Justice website.

(1) Total number of persons entering prison or Probation Service supervision cannot be calculated by adding together the commencements and first receptions figures. This is because many people will be included in both categories (i.e. they will be received into prison and start Probation Service supervision in the same year). (2) The all supervision figures count each person only once in this total for probation service supervision even if they started several types of supervision during the year. (3)  All supervision figure includes family court supervision. Responsibility for this supervision work was transferred to CAFCASS on 1 April 2001. (4) First receptions provide an indication of the number of new prisoners in a time period. A person received into prison to serve a sentence may previously have been on remand after conviction prior to sentence, and before that as a remand prisoner awaiting trial. First receptions will count that prisoner only once in the relevant time period in which they were first received. First receptions will count an individual more than once if they have two or more different episodes in custody covering separate charges. (5) Figures for 2004 may be slightly understated, due to low recording of pre and post release commencement data received from London Probation Service throughout this period. About a third of the overall decrease was due to the reduction in the London figures.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.   

## Chapter 2: Court Reports Produced By The Probation Service

The Probation Service has a responsibility to prepare Pre Sentence Reports (PSRs) 
for the courts each time an offender is sentenced. These reports provide information to the court about the offender and assist it in deciding on a suitable sentence. The two main types of report are the Standard Delivery PSR and the Fast Delivery PSR; the Standard report provides the court with a written full risk assessment on the offender and the Fast report (which may be written or oral) helps the court decide on a specific sentence type (see Appendix A for further details). 

## Volume Of Court Reports Prepared By The Probation Service The Total Number Of Court Reports Prepared Has Remained Stable In Recent Years (With Only Small Increases) But There Have Been Continued Sharp Rises In The Proportion Of Fast Delivery Reports Prepared, Especially In The Oral Reports.

In 2009 the Probation Service prepared 218,000 court reports, 0.7 per cent more than in 2008. Standard PSRs decreased by 15 per cent compared to 2008 but Fast Delivery (both written and oral) increased by 28 per cent (written by 23 per cent and oral by 39 per cent). Between 1999 and 2003 there was a gradual decline in the number of court reports written but the trend since then in the total number of reports prepared increased up to 2009. Of all reports prepared in 2009, 72 per cent were for magistrates' courts (157,000) and 28 per cent for the Crown Court (60,200).  Between 2008 and 2009, total reports prepared for magistrates' courts fell by 2 per cent, compared to an 8 per cent rise for the Crown Court. Since the new Fast Delivery PSRs were introduced in April 2005, their use has steadily increased matching the decline in the use of Standard PSRs. In 2009, 48 
per cent of all court reports were Fast Delivery PSRs compared to 42 per cent in 
2008. The overall increase in Fast Delivery oral reports was greater than for Fast Delivery written reports.  Oral reports constituted 33 per cent of all Fast Delivery PSRs in 2009, compared to 31 per cent in 2008. However, although the proportion for magistrates' courts increased from 32 per cent in 2008 to 36 per cent in 2009, for Crown Courts oral reports fell from 12 per cent in 2008 to 10 per cent in 2009. 

## Sentences Proposed In Psrs Compared To Sentences Given By The Courts

Custodial sentences were given by the court in 89 per cent of the cases where a custodial sentence was proposed in PSRs. This compares to 33 per cent given custodial sentences where SSOs were proposed and 11 per cent where Community Sentences were proposed. It is clear that sentencers rarely give a lesser disposal than proposed in the PSR but often give a more severe one. The highest level of concordance between sentences proposed and given was for custodial sentences (89 per cent) followed by Community Sentences (70 per cent) and Suspended Sentence Orders (53 per cent). Of the PSRs prepared in 2009, 78 per cent recommended a Community Sentence, while 12 per cent recommended a Suspended Sentence Order and 9 per cent custody. For these same offenders the distribution of sentences actually given was slightly different - 56 per cent were community sentences, 20 per cent were SSOs and 20 per cent were immediate custody. In 2009 there were 28,100 court reports written on offenders who were remanded in custody, 13 per cent of all court reports, a slight fall from 14 per cent in 2008. As might be expected the proportion of reports written on offenders remanded in custody was higher at the Crown Court than magistrates' courts (31 per cent and 6 
per cent respectively). In 2009, Standard PSRs accounted for 84 per cent of all reports written on offenders that were remanded in custody, compared to 47 per cent for those not remanded in custody.

## Chapter 3: Offenders Starting Probation Service Supervision

The Probation Service is responsible for supervising offenders under court orders and on pre and post release from prison.  The main court orders are the Community Order and the Suspended Sentence Order, which were introduced under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 in April 2005.  This chapter deals with offenders commencing supervision by the Probation Service between 1999 and 2009. 

 
The number of offenders starting court orders has continued to increase slightly in 2009, whilst the number being supervised at the end of the year (the caseload) has continued to decrease slightly.  The reason for these different trends is that the average sentence length of Community Orders has reduced year on year since they were introduced, meaning that offenders spend less time on the caseload (see below for possible reasons for the reduction in average sentence length). 

## Court Orders

The number of offenders starting court order supervision by the Probation Service in 2009 was 167,000, 1 per cent higher than in 2008 and 32 per cent higher than in 1999. This is the highest number so far recorded, although the increase has slowed in the past two years, reflecting the slowdown in the increase of Suspended Sentence Orders. Community Orders (123,000) and Suspended Sentence Orders 
(46,900) increased by 2 and 3 per cent respectively between 2008 and 2009.  
The number of offenders starting community sentences in 2009 (127,000) was 1 per cent higher than in 2008 but lower than the peak of 2005 when it was 136,000. 

Community sentences do not include Suspended Sentence Orders (SSOs). 

There was an increase in the numbers of both male and female offenders starting a court order in 2009 compared with 2008 but the increase was higher for female offenders (3 per cent compared to 1 per cent for male offenders). For Community Orders the respective increases were 3 per cent and 1 per cent and for SSOs, 5 per cent and 3 per cent. The average sentence length of supervision for those starting Community Orders has fallen each year since 2005 when Community Orders were introduced. In 2009 it was 13 months, compared to 14.9 months in 2008. The average was lower for females (12.2 months) than for males (13.1 months). It is possible that SSOs have drawn in some who would previously have received longer Community Orders, partly explaining the fall in average length.  The falling average could also be explained by the courts' targeting these orders more effectively over time, choosing a shorter sentence, for example, with a more effective mix of requirements designed to better manage the offender. The average sentence length for those starting SSOs in 2009 was 17.1 months, the same as in 2008. It was also lower for females than for males (16.8 compared with 17.1). Of those starting Community Orders in 2009, 47 per cent had committed Summary Motoring Offences and Other Summary Offences, compared to 34 per cent for those starting SSOs. Theft and Handling represented the largest specific offence group for those starting Community Orders, whereas for SSOs it was violence against the person. Female offenders tended to be older than male offenders starting both Community Orders and SSOs. Fifty three per cent of female offenders starting Community Orders were 30 and over compared to 44 per cent of male offenders. For SSOs the percentages were 55 and 45 respectively. A higher proportion of men than women were in the youngest age group; for Community Orders, 18 per cent of male offenders were aged under 21, compared to 14 per cent of female offenders. For SSOs the percentages were 16 and 11 respectively. Among those starting Community Orders the increase for older offenders (aged 50 plus) was 11 per cent between 2008 and 2009, compared to an increase of just 2 per cent for younger offenders (aged under 25). Of those starting Community Orders in 2009, 14 per cent were from a minority ethnic group compared to 17 per cent of those starting SSOs. Black or Black British accounted for the largest single minority ethnic group - 6 per cent for Community Orders and 7 per cent for SSOs. A lower percentage of female offenders than male offenders were from a minority ethnic group, mostly due to the lower proportion of Asian or Asian British female offenders. Supervision *tier* indicates the level of intervention required with offenders, with tier 1 
being the lowest and tier 4 the highest (it indicates the risk of harm and likelihood of reoffending by the offender - see Appendix A for full description). For Community Orders starting in 2009 37 per cent of offenders were in tier 1, 25 per cent in tier 2, 33 per cent in tier 3 and 4 per cent in tier 4. For SSOs, there were 25 per cent in each of tier 1 and tier 2, 43 per cent in tier 3 and 6 per cent in tier 4. There were proportionately fewer females than males in the tier 3 category, and proportionately more females in tier 2 for Community Orders and SSOs and also in tier 1 for SSOs.   

## Requirements Made Under Court Orders

Half of all Community Orders starting in 2009 had just one requirement and a further 
35 per cent had two requirements; for SSOs these proportions were 37 per cent and 
42 per cent respectively. The proportions having each number of requirements have remained fairly stable throughout the last five years. 

 
Overall, supervision was the most used requirement for Community Orders started in 
2009, closely followed by unpaid work. These 2 requirements accounted for 67 per cent of all requirements attached to Community Orders. They also accounted for 63 
per cent of all requirements under SSOs. Among other requirements, use of the Alcohol Treatment requirement increased by 
39 per cent on 2008 for Community Orders and 47 per cent on 2008 for SSOs; and Specified Activities rose by 40 and 34 per cent respectively. Whilst most requirements had increased, supervision and unpaid work remained fairly stable, and the only significant decrease was in the use of accredited programmes. Among the different combinations of requirements, stand alone unpaid work continued to be the most prevalent, accounting for a third of Community Orders and 
20 per cent of all SSOs starting in 2009.  

## Pre And Post Release Supervision

The Probation Service also supervises adult offenders given custodial sentences of 12 months or more and all young offenders sentenced to custody. They are responsible for supervision pre release from prison and post release on licence.  
In 2009, 46,000 offenders started supervision either before or after release from prison, which was 3 per cent fewer than in 2008 and 19 per cent fewer than in 1999. 

The fall between 2008 and 2009 was higher among females (7 per cent compared to 3 per cent for males).

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figu may not be accurate to that level.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

Unpaid work may be given at sentence and again on breach. Does not include all standalone curfews, as most of these are not supervised by the Probation Service.

Sharp increase from 2005 reflects the fact that these orders were introduced for offences committed after 4th April 2005.

## Chapter 4: Offenders On The Probation Service Caseload

The Probation Service is responsible for supervising offenders under court orders and on pre and post release from prison.  The main court orders are the Community Order and the Suspended Sentence Order, which were introduced under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 in April 2005.  This chapter deals with the caseload of offenders supervised by the Probation Service as at 31 December between 2002 and 2009. The starting point in this chapter is 2002 instead of 1999 because reliable caseload data only became available in 2002 with the introduction of a new data collection system (see Appendix B for details). 

 
The number of offenders being supervised at the end of 2009 under court orders has fallen in each of the last two years, despite rising numbers starting supervision (see previous chapter).  The number of offenders supervised under pre or post release supervision has increased in each of the last ten years, reflecting the growth in the prison population.  

## Court Orders

On 31 December 2009, there were 141,000 offenders (120,000 males and 21,100 
females) being supervised under court orders by the Probation Service, 4 per cent fewer than at the end of 2008 but 21 per cent more than at the end of 2002. Court orders peaked in 2007 at 150,000 and this was true for both males and females. 

Between 2003 and 2009, the court order caseload increased by 17 per cent for male offenders, compared to 13 per cent for female offenders. Community sentences include both pre and post CJA03 orders but do not include Suspended Sentence Orders (SSOs).The Probation Service was supervising 
101,000 people under community sentences at the end of 2009 (the majority of which were Community Orders). This was 5 per cent fewer than a year earlier. There was a 16 per cent fall in Community Sentences being supervised at the end of the year between 31 December 2003 and 31 December 2009. There were 97,000 people being supervised under Community Orders at the end of 2009, a 4 per cent fall on 2008. This follows a two year period when Community Orders appeared to plateau at around 101,000 after the steep increase following their introduction in 2005. There were 43,600 people supervised under SSOs (a 1 per cent decrease on 2008), representing little change over the last 3 years. Table 4.7 shows that whilst there was universal growth in the SSO caseload between 2005 and 2007, since then there has been regional fluctuation, with the caseload rising in some regions but falling in others, despite the stability of the national picture. The average length of a Community Order for those being supervised at the end of 2009 was 15 months, compared to 15.4 months in 2008. This average has fallen year on year and helps to explain the falling caseload despite the rise in the numbers starting orders (see Chapter 3 for an explanation). For SSOs the average length for those being supervised at the end of 2009 was 18.5 months. This has remained fairly stable in each of the last 4 years. Of those supervised under Community Orders in 2009, 48 per cent had committed summary offences compared to 49 per cent in 2008. For SSOs the respective percentages were 34 and 35 per cent. Women on the court order caseload tended to be older than the men. Fifty-three per cent of women under Community Orders on 31 December 2009 were aged 30 plus, compared to 46 per cent of men. For SSOs the percentages were 55 and 46 
respectively. A higher proportion of men than women were in the youngest age group; for Community Orders, 17 per cent of men were aged under 21, compared to 14 per cent of women and for SSOs the equivalent percentages were 15 and 12. Of those under Community Orders on 31 December 2009, 15 per cent were from a minority ethnic group compared to 17 per cent of those under SSOs. The largest single minority ethnic group was Black or Black British, accounting for 6 per cent and 7 per cent respectively of those under Community Orders and SSOs. The overall picture of much higher numbers of males than females for both types of order was particularly evident among the Asian or Asian British group. 

Supervision *tier* indicates the level of intervention required with offenders, with tier 1 
being the lowest and tier 4 the highest (it indicates the risk of harm and likelihood of reoffending by the offender - see Appendix A for a full description). For both Community Orders and SSOs, offenders were more likely to be in tier 3 than other tiers. Forty-one per cent of offenders supervised under Community Orders at the end of 2009 were supervised under tier 3 and 27 per cent were under each of tier 1 and tier 2. The equivalent percentages for SSOs were 47 in tier 3, 27 in tier 2 and 20 in tier 1. For both order types, there were proportionately far more females than males under tier 2, and conversely far fewer under tier 3.   

## Pre And Post Release Supervision

There were 102,000 offenders receiving pre or post release supervision by the Probation Service on 31 December 2009, an increase of 4 per cent on 2008 and 27 
per cent on 2003. Post release caseload increased by 8 per cent between 2008 and 2009 (up from 32,000 to 35,000), compared to just 1 per cent for pre release caseload. The post release increase is due partly to changes brought in by the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which mean that offenders now spend longer on licence than in the past. 

## Criminal Histories Of Offenders

Of offenders under the supervision of the Probation Service at the end of 2009, 13 
per cent had no previous convictions or cautions recorded on the Police National Computer, whilst 22 per cent had 15 or more. Eighteen per cent of offenders serving Community Orders had 15 or more previous convictions or cautions compared with 
19 per cent for Suspended Sentence Orders, 29 per cent for those under pre release supervision and 25 per cent for those under post release supervision. Male offenders on the Probation Service caseload are more likely to have previous convictions or cautions than female offenders; at the end of 2009, 24 per cent of female offenders had no previous recorded convictions or cautions compared with 12 per cent for males. 

Those offenders with the most requirements associated with their court orders are likely to be those with the most substantial criminal history.  Of the offenders on the caseload at the end of 2009 with one requirement, 18 per cent had no previous convictions or cautions, while 14 per cent had 15 or more.  In contrast, of those offenders with 5 or more requirements 3 per cent had no previous convictions or cautions, while 24 per cent had 15 or more.

  Each person is counted only once in the total even if they were subject to several types of sentence at the year end. Includes Community Punishment Orders (CPOs) for persistent petty offending and CPOs for fine default. Transfer of responsibility for supervision of offenders aged 16 to 17 to Youth Offending Teams began in 2000. The all community sentences and CRO figures for 2004 are slightly understated, due to an under-recording of the CRO caseload
        data submitted by the London Probation Service for the fourth quarter 2004.

 The pre and post release figures for 2008 are slightly understated, due to an under-recording of the caseload 
        data submitted by the West Midlands probation area for the fourth quarter 2008.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1) Previous convictions/cautions are a count of the number of distinct occasions where an offender received at least one conviction or caution for an indictable or summary offence before the commencement of the current supervision (in the case of offenders receiving court orders) or before date of custodial sentence (for offenders on pre / post release supervision). Criminal histories are taken from the Ministry of Justice's extract of data from the Police National Computer. (2) Each person is counted only once in the figures for each year even if they are recorded on the probation caseload more than once. (3) All Probation Service Supervisions include some other types of court orders involving a small number of offenders. (4) The sample consists of all offenders aged 18 or over on a court order or on pre-release or post-release supervision at the end of December each year.

Data Source and Quality These figures have been compiled using the Ministry of Justice's extract from the Police National Computer. Like any large scale recording system the PNC is subject to errors with data entry and recording. The PNC is regularly updated so that further analysis at a later date will generate revised figures. See the Technical Appendix for further information.

## Chapter 5: Completion Of Court Orders There Has Been An Increase In The Proportions Of Community Orders And Suspended Sentence Orders Terminating For Positive Reasons Between 2008 And 2009 And A Decrease In Those Terminating For Negative Reasons, Meaning That More Offenders Are Successfully Completing Their Orders.

Nearly two thirds of Community Orders and Suspended Sentence Orders (SSOs) 
terminating in 2009 had run their full course or were terminated early for good progress.   
Of the 131,000 Community Orders terminated in 2009, 64 per cent had run their full course or were terminated early for good progress, compared to 26 per cent terminated for negative reasons (16 per cent for failing to comply with requirements and 10 per cent for conviction of a further offence). These figures represent an improvement on 2008, when 60 per cent were completed successfully and 30 per cent terminated for negative reasons. Of the 43,800 SSOs terminated in 2009, 64 per cent were completed successfully, compared to 28 per cent terminated for negative reasons (12 per cent for failing to comply with requirements and 16 per cent for conviction of a further offence). In 
2008, 60 per cent of SSOs completed successfully and 32 per cent terminated negatively. A higher proportion of women than men completed their orders successfully: 67 per cent for Community Orders and 73 per cent for SSOs compared to 63 per cent of men for both types of order. The proportion of positive terminations for Community Orders in 2009 was highest for orders of under 1 year in length (71 per cent compared to 65 per cent for those of 
1 year in length, 55 per cent for 2 years and 66 per cent for 3 years). For SSOs, the proportion of positive terminations was very similar regardless of length of orders.

## Chapter 6: Receptions Into Prison Establishments

This chapter provides information on the characteristics of prisoners received into prison establishments in England and Wales in 2009. A person received into prison to serve a sentence may previously have been received on remand after conviction prior to sentence and before that as a remand prisoner awaiting trial. First receptions provide an indication of the number of new prisoners in a time period by counting an individual only once in the year they were first received into prison. Trends in the number of prisoners received into prison inform understanding of the reasons behind current and future changes in the size and make-up of the prison population. Some changes in the number and type of people received will have an immediate impact on the prison population - a fall in the custody rate, for example, will lead to an immediate drop in the prison population if all other factors remain the same. Whereas an increase or decrease in the average sentence length of those received will usually take some months to have an impact. 

## First Receptions

There were 126,000 first receptions in 2009 representing a fall of 6 per cent compared to 2008 but a similar level to 2007. In the longer term there has been a fall of 6 per cent since 1999 when there were 134,000 first receptions. Within this total, there were decreases between 2008 and 2009 for all types of first reception. The largest decrease was for prisoners first received as convicted unsentenced (that is those remanded in custody after conviction while awaiting sentence who had not previously been remanded in custody during their trial). The number of convicted unsentenced first receptions fell 20 per cent from 17,500 in 2008 to 13,900 in 2009. Over the longer term, the only increase has been in those first received under immediate custodial sentence, up 21 per cent from 44,900 in 
1999 to 54,200 in 2009. Non-criminal first receptions continued to decrease, and were 8 per cent lower than in 2008 and 47 per cent lower than in 1999, falling to their lowest level in eighteen years. The rest of this chapter reports on total receptions by custody type. Individuals may be counted more than once if they were received under more than one reception type in the year. 

## Remand Receptions

There are two types of remand reception - untried, and convicted unsentenced. Untried receptions are those prisoners awaiting the start of, or continuation of trial prior to verdict. Convicted unsentenced receptions are prisoners found guilty and awaiting sentence.  
In 2009, 75,300 prisoners were received on remand, 8 per cent lower than in 2008 reflecting falls in both untried and convicted unsentenced receptions (down 4 per cent and 17 per cent respectively). Over the longer term, remand receptions have fallen by 17 per cent since 2003, with untried receptions down 6 per cent and convicted unsentenced receptions down 31 per cent since 2003. The falling number of convicted unsentenced receptions partly reflects the rising use of fast delivery presentence reports (PSRs) over the same period. Fast delivery PSRs are more likely to be completed on the same day, and therefore not result in a convicted unsentenced prison reception, than standard delivery PSRs (see chapter 2 for detail on court reports). Over a quarter of all untried receptions in 2009 were for violence against the person offences, with a further 12 per cent for burglary, 12 per cent for theft and handling and 18 per cent for 'other offences'. These proportions are similar to those seen in 2008 but show a change over the longer term. In 1999 theft and handling was the largest offence group (23 per cent) followed by burglary, 'other offences' and violence against the person (17, 16 and 15 per cent respectively). The changes in proportions are the result of a combination of longer term increases in numbers of untried receptions for violence against the person with falls in numbers of untried receptions for burglary and theft and handling. The only offence group where there was an increase (of under 2 per cent) from 2008 in the number of untried receptions was for violence against the person. The longer term increasing proportion for violence against the person was evident for both males and females. However, in 2009 theft accounted for 26 per cent of all female untried receptions compared to just 11 per cent for males. Conversely, violence against the person accounted for 27 per cent of all male untried receptions but just 18 per cent for females. In 2009 there was a 1 per cent increase in the number of untried foreign national receptions from 11,200 in 2008 to 11,300 in 2009, representing a levelling of the longer term rising trend. Over the longer term, the number of untried foreign national receptions more than doubled from 4,800 in 1999 to 11,300 in 2009 (an increase of 136 per cent). In comparison, untried receptions of British Nationals fell 7 per cent between 2008 and 2009, and were down 28 per cent between 1999 and 2009. 

## Sentenced Receptions

There were 93,600 receptions under immediate custodial sentence (excluding fine defaulters) in 2009, down 5 per cent on the previous year but 4 per cent higher than 2007 and 4 per cent higher than in 1999. The number of adult receptions (excluding fine defaulters) fell 4 per cent to 75,900 in 2009 compared to 79,300 in 2008 (which had been the highest number in a decade). There was a similar fall of 3 per cent between 2008 and 2009 among young adults while the number of sentenced receptions among 15 to 17 year olds fell 24 per cent from 5,300 in 2008 to 4,000 in 2009. The number of sentenced receptions fell between 2008 and 2009 in all sentence length bands except those receiving a sentence of 12 months to less than 4 years which increased by 640 (3 per cent) from 24,600 in 2008 to 25,300 in 2009. The increase in this particular group reflects changes introduced in the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 which restricted the use of Indeterminate sentence for public protection (IPP) to a minimum tariff of 2 years. As a result some offenders who would previously have been given a short tariff IPP will now receive a determinate sentence of 12 months to less than 4 years. The number of receptions for indeterminate sentences saw the largest fall, down 540 (29 per cent) from 1,900 in 2008 to 1,300 in 2009. The fall was due largely to a 34 per cent fall in indeterminate receptions for public protection (from 1,300 in 2008 to 870 in 2009) as a result of the changes introduced under the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008. 

The largest offence groups for those received under sentence in 2009 were 'other offences', violence against the person and theft and handling, which accounted for 23, 21 and 18 per cent of sentenced receptions respectively. Within the 'other offences' group, breaches of a court order were the largest component accounting for 53 per cent of 'other offences'. Similar to the pattern seen for untried receptions, over the longer term there has been a rise in sentenced receptions for violence against the person, up 54 per cent between 1999 and 2009, while sentenced receptions for theft and handling, burglary, and motoring offences have all decreased. In addition the number of sentenced receptions for 'other offences' increased by 70 per cent from 12,900 in 1999 to 21,900 in 2009. Overall sentenced receptions (excluding fine defaulters) rose by 4 per cent between 
1999 and 2009, but the rise was proportionally far greater for females (up 18 per cent from 6,800 to 8,000) than for males (up 3 per cent from 83,400 to 85,600). For males the increase was due to very large rises in 'other offences' (especially breaches) and violence against the person, partially offset by decreases in burglary, theft and handling, and motoring offences. Among females there were large rises in 'other offences', fraud and forgery, and violence against the person, as well as smaller rises in all other offence groups except burglary, motoring and drug offences.   
For females, the largest offence groups for sentenced receptions in 2009 were theft and handling, 'other offences' and violence against the person accounting for 34, 23 and 14 per cent respectively. For males the equivalent figures for these offences were 17, 23 and 21 per cent respectively. Over the longer term, there has been a shift towards a greater number of sentenced receptions for prisoners aged 40 or more (and this is also reflected in the prison population, see chapter 7).  In 2009, prisoners aged 40 or more accounted for 19 per cent of the total receptions into prison. In 1999 this figure was 12 per cent. This is mainly balanced by a fall in sentenced receptions of those aged 15 to 17, falling from 5,900 in 1999 to 4,000 in 2009.  
In 2009, 12,400 prisoners of a foreign nationality were received under an immediate custodial sentence, an increase of 2 per cent from 2008. This was a relatively small year on year increase compared to the longer term trend with a 152 per cent rise between 1999 and 2009. Europeans represented the largest group of foreign national total receptions in 2009 (43 per cent) followed by Africa (22 per cent) and Asia (21 per cent). The number of immediate custodial sentenced receptions of British Nationals fell by 8 per cent from 2008 and by 6 per cent compared to 1999. 

## Non-Criminal Prisoner Receptions

Receptions of non-criminal prisoners increased by 11 per cent between 2008 and 
2009 and rose by 36 per cent between 2003 and 2009 (this increase is also seen in the population figures, see chapter 7).

(1) Excludes police cells (2) Total receptions cannot be calculated by adding together receptions in each category, because there is double counting (see Technical Appendix). First receptions give an indication of the number of new prisoners in a time period. (3) The number of receptions within each sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology.

(1) Excludes police cells (2) The number of receptions within each offence group in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

(1) Excludes police cells (2) The number of receptions within each offence group in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

(1) Excludes police cells (2) The number of receptions within each offence group and sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1) Excludes police cells (2) The number of receptions within each sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on estimation methodology.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1) Total receptions cannot be calculated by adding together receptions in each category because there is double counting. However double counting has been allowed for in the figures of receptions of prisoners under remand where the figures for "all remand" record only once a person received as an untried prisoner who is subsequently received also as a convicted unsentenced prisoner.

(1) Excludes police cells (2) The number of receptions within each offence group in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on estimation methodology.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

## Chapter 7:  Characteristics Of The Prison Population

This chapter provides information on the characteristics of those held in prison and police cells in England and Wales as at end of June 2009. The prison population can be divided in to three main groups, the remand population, the sentenced population and the non-criminal population. Prisoners on remand comprise those awaiting commencement of or continuation of trial prior to verdict (the untried population) and those awaiting sentence (the convicted unsentenced population). The sentenced population comprises prisoners held in custody as a result of receiving a determinate sentence or an indeterminate sentence (Life or Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection - an IPP) from a criminal court. The non-criminal population, which is reported separately from the sentenced population, comprises largely those held under the 1971 Immigration Act. 

## Total Prison Population

The prison population at the end of June 2009 reached 83,500, an increase of 0.3 per cent compared to the same period in 2008.  This comprised a 0.6 per cent rise in the male prison population (from 78,700 to 79,200) and a 5 per cent fall in the female prison population (from 4,500 to 4,300). There were no offenders held in police cells in this period. Between 1999 and 2009 the prison population increased 29 per cent reflecting a rise in the female population up 34 per cent and the male population up 29 per cent. The latest increase of 0.3 per cent represents a leveling off in the year on year increases seen previously. 

Since 1993 the prison population has grown more rapidly than at any other time since 1900. The average prison population increased 88 per cent from 44,600 in 1993 to 83,600 in 2009. Figure 7.1 shows the trend in the annual average population broken down by males and females from 1900 to 2009. 

In 2009, 22,300 prisoners were from an ethnic group other than White, representing 
27 per cent of the total prison population.  Between 2008 and 2009 there was a 0.5 per cent fall in the number of prisoners from black and minority ethnic background compared to a 1 per cent increase in White prisoners.  Twenty per cent of British national prisoners were from an ethnic group other than White compared to 68 per cent of prisoners of a foreign nationality. (For more information, please see Statistics on Race and the Criminal Justice System www.justice.gov.uk/publications/raceandcjs.htm). 

There were 11,400 prisoners of a foreign nationality in 2009, a fall of 1 per cent from 2008. This followed continuous increases from 1999 to 2008. Over this period, there was a 113 per cent increase in foreign national prisoners compared to a 20 per cent rise in British national prisoners. In 2009 prisoners with no religious affiliation accounted for 35 per cent of the total prison population, while Anglicans, Roman Catholics and Muslims accounted for 26, 
17 and 12 per cent respectively. Between 2008 and 2009, the numbers of Buddhist and Muslim prisoners increased, up 4 and 2 per cent respectively and there was a 6 per cent fall in the number of Anglican prisoners (from 23,000 in 2008 to 21,600 in 2009). Over the longer term, the largest changes were a fall of 16 per cent in Anglican prisoners between 1999 and 2009 and increases of 25 per cent in Roman Catholic prisoners, 488 per cent in Buddhist prisoners (from 300 in 1999 to 1,800 in 2009) and 131 per cent in Muslim prisoners (from 4300 to 10,000 in 2009) over the same period. 

## Remand Population

In 2009 the overall remand population remained stable, rising by 0.1 per cent to 13,500 from 13,400 in 2008. This comprised a 2 per cent rise in the untried prison population from 8,800 to 8,900 and a 4 per cent fall from 4,700 to 4,500 in the convicted unsentenced population. Although the total remand population rose 0.1 per cent, there were larger increases for some offence groups.  Drug offences, which accounted for 14 per cent of the remand population in 2009, rose 4 per cent and there was a small increase in robbery (up 3 per cent).  The largest percentage falls were seen in theft and handling (12 per cent), burglary (2 per cent) and fraud and forgery (2 per cent) These short term decreases are reflected in the longer term changes where there has been a noticeable fall in the numbers remanded for burglary (down 39 per cent from 1999) and theft and handling (down 48 per cent). In contrast, there were rises for violence against the person (up 54 per cent from 1999) and other offences (up 29 per cent). 

## Sentenced Population

There were 68,400 prisoners under sentence (excluding fine defaulters) in 2009, an increase of 0.4 per cent on the previous year, and 33 per cent higher than in 1999. 

Between 2008 and 2009 the number of prisoners serving sentences of less than 12 months fell while the numbers serving sentences of 12 months or more (including indeterminate sentences) rose. Between 2008 and 2009 there was a 13 per cent fall in the number of prisoners serving a sentence of less than 12 months.  The number of adults, young adults and 15 to 17 year olds serving a sentence of less than 12 months declined by 12, 12 and 29 per cent respectively. 

There were 23,800 prisoners serving a sentence of 12 months to less than 4 years, an increase of 0.6 per cent from 2008, and 20 per cent higher than in 1999.  
Between 2008 and 2009 there was an increase in the number of prisoners serving a sentence of 4 years or more (excluding Indeterminate), rising 0.5 per cent from 24,400 in 2008 to 24,500 in 2009. Over the same period, there was a 10 per cent rise in the number of prisoners on indeterminate sentences (either a life sentence or an Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection - an IPP) from 11,400 to 12,500 in 2009. This rise was due to a 17 per cent increase in IPPs to 5,200, while the number serving life sentences increased by 6 per cent to 7,300. Over the longer term, there has been a shift towards a greater number of prisoners aged 40 or more.  In 2009, prisoners aged 40 or more accounted for 27 per cent of the sentenced population, compared with 19 per cent in 1999. Of prisoners aged 40 or more serving a sentence for offences relating to violence against the person in 2009, almost half (44 per cent) were serving a sentence for murder and 28 per cent were serving a sentence for wounding. In addition, prisoners aged 40 and above accounted for over half (55 per cent) of all prisoners sentenced for rape. These variations with age are in part explained by the length of sentence for these types of offence. In 2009, the largest proportions of prisoners in the sentenced population by offence group were 29 per cent for violence against the person, 16 per cent for drug offences and 13 per cent for robbery offences. These proportions were similar to those seen in 2008 and 2007. The overall increase of 0.4 per cent in the sentenced population was largely driven by rises in the number of prisoners held for violence against the person, sexual offences and robbery, which increased by 5, 5 and 4 per cent respectively. Over the longer term, compared with 1999 there were large proportionate rises in the sentenced population for violence against the person (up 84 per cent), other offences (including breaches) (up 77 per cent), fraud and forgery (up 70 per cent) 
and sexual offences (up 61 per cent). There were proportionate decreases for motoring, theft and handling and burglary offences, down 41, 23 and 10 per cent respectively between 1999 and 2009. 

## Non-Criminal Population

The non-criminal population fell by 0.7 per cent between 2008 and 2009 following an 18 per cent increase between 2007 and 2008.  In 2009, 97 per cent of all noncriminal prisoners were being held under the 1971 Immigration Act.  Over the longer term, the non-criminal prison population almost trebled from 550 in 1999 to 1,500 in 2009. This was largely due to rises in prisoners held under the 1971 Immigration Act which, includes those held post-sentence (time served) and those held in the immigration removal centres of Dover, Haslar and Lindholme. 

## Criminal History

Of prisoners under sentence at the end of June 2009, 13 per cent had no previous convictions or cautions compared with 14 per cent in 2002. A higher proportion of these prisoners in 2009 had 15 or more previous sanctions (30 per cent compared with 25 per cent in 2002). Prisoners serving short custodial sentences were more likely to have a substantial criminal history than those serving the longest sentences.  Forty one per cent of offenders serving sentences of less than 12 months at the end of June 2009 had 15 or more previous convictions or cautions, compared to 24 per cent of those serving 4 years or more. 

## International Comparisons

England and Wales, at 153 prisoners per 100,000 of the total population, had the eighth highest per capita rate in the European Union (EU); Hungary and Scotland also had rates of 153 per 100,000. Higher rates were recorded in Spain (164) and six member states that were new to the EU in 2004 - Latvia (304), Estonia (273), Lithuania (239), Poland (225), the Czech Republic (207) and Slovakia (172). 

Higher rates were also recorded in three of the selected European countries outside the EU - the Russian Federation (626), Ukraine (320) and Turkey (157).The Russian Federation is one of eleven countries with rates of 400 or above, including the USA, whose rate of 748 at mid-2009 was the highest in the world.  
The lowest rates in Europe amongst the selected countries were in Iceland (55), Finland (60), Slovenia (66) and Norway (68).

(1) Excludes police cells (2) Comparisons by offence group with previous years figures should be made with caution due to further quality assurance of the data introduced for June 2005
 onwards.  The major difference is in the reduction of the 'offence not recorded' category for the remand population.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

(1) Annual average population (2) Excludes police cells (3) Due to technical problems relating to the supply of data for statistical purposes, the annual average population for 2009 uses data compiled on a slightly different basis for July to December 2009.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1)  Figures relate to average population, so the components do not always add to the totals because they have been rounded independently (2) Includes indeterminate sentences for public protection which came into effect on 5th April 2005 (3) Due to technical problems relating to the supply of data for statistical purposes, the annual average population for 2009 uses data compiled on a slightly different basis for July to December 2009. All other detailed breakdowns of the prison population in this table have been estimated from these averages.  
See Appendix B for more details.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1) Excludes police cells
(2) The figures include persons held in immigration removal centres controlled by prison service (Dover, Haslar and Lindholme) but exclude those held in detention centres controlled by the Immigration Service Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

(1) Excludes police cells (2) Prior to 2004 the 1991 census ethnic codes were used for information on years 1999 to 2003 see previous annual publications Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1) Age at 30th June (2) Previous convictions/cautions are a count of the number of distinct occasions where an offender received at least one conviction or caution for an indictable or summary offence before the date of the custodial sentence. (3) The prison population figures reported in this table do not match the figures shown elsewhere in the publication. This is because the most accurate measure of prison population (as used in all tables except 7.31 and 7.32) involves combining two sources of data: individual level data, and aggregate totals to which the individual level data are scaled for consistency (see Appendix B for a more detailed explanation).  However, analysis of previous convictions and cautions requires prisoners to be matched against the Police National Computer, and this can only be done using the unscaled individual level data. (4) Young Adults are those aged 18-20
Data Source and Quality These figures have been compiled using the Ministry of Justice's extract from the Police National Computer. Like any large scale recording system the PNC is subject to errors with data entry and recording. The PNC is regularly updated so that further analysis at a later date will generate revised figures. See the Technical Appendix for fuller information.

Data Source and Quality These figures have been compiled using the Ministry of Justice's extract from the Police National Computer. Like any large scale recording system the PNC is subject to errors with data entry and recording. The PNC is regularly updated so that further analysis at a later date will generate revised figures. See the Technical Appendix for further information.

(1) The prison population figures reported in this table do not match the figures shown elsewhere in the publication.  This is because the most accurate measure of prison population (as used in all tables except 7.31 and 7.32) involves combining two sources of data: individual level data, and aggregate totals to which the individual level data are scaled for consistency (see Appendix B for a more detailed explanation).  However, analysis of previous convictions and cautions requires prisoners to be matched against the Police National Computer, and this can only be done using the unscaled individual level data.

(2) As a result of moving to a different prison population data source for 2009, the less than or equal to 6 months and the greater than 6 months and less than 12 months categories have been collapsed into the less than 12 months category for 2008. This is to allow comparisons to be made with 2009 data, which does not provide a more detailed breakdown of sentence length.

## Chapter 8: Adjudications (Breaches Of Prison Discipline)

The adjudication process exists to allow prison governors and independent adjudicators to deal with breaches of prison discipline. Governors may also refer the most serious offences to the police. In this chapter, all proven adjudication offences committed and punishments given for these breaches of prison discipline are detailed for the year. More than one punishment can be given for a single offence. 

## Rates Of Offences Punished And Punishments Given

In 2009, for males and females, the overall rate of offences punished was 125 for every 100 prisoners, which is a decrease from 135 in 2008 and continues the overall decrease since 2001. All offence types punished showed decreases in rates per 100 prisoners from 2008 to 2009, except wilful damage which was static at 10 for every 100 prisoners between 2008 and 2009. The largest decrease in offences punished was for disobedience or disrespect, from 54 per 100 prisoners in 2008 to 48 per 100 prisoners in 2009, but this remained the highest rate of offence type punished for both males and females (47 per 100 and 69 per 100 respectively). 

Female rates for offences punished in 2009 were higher than those for males both overall (150 offences by females compared to 124 by males per 100 prisoners) and across all types of offences punished. The overall rate of punishments for males and females in 2009 was also lower at 218 for every 100 prisoners, compared with 231 for every 100 prisoners in 2008. In 2009, females had a higher overall rate of all punishments given for offences at 250 per 100 prisoners compared to 217 for every 100 male prisoners, reflecting the higher rate of offences punished. Three punishment types accounted for the majority of punishments given. Forfeiture of privileges was the punishment given with the highest rate per 100 prisoners in 
2009 (102 per 100 prison population). This was followed by stoppage/ reduction of earnings (64 per 100 prisoners) and confinement to cell or room (28 for every 100 prisoners). In 1999, additional days was the most frequently used punishment with a rate of 109 
per 100 prisoners, for males and females. Between 2000 and 2003 there was a large reduction in the use of additional days.  At the same time, there was an increase in the use of forfeiture of privileges (and to a lesser extent an increase in the use of stoppage/ reduction of earnings). In 1999 additional days accounted for 39 per cent of all punishments and forfeiture of privileges for 24 per cent. By 2003 these proportions had changed to 4 and 45 per cent respectively. 

There were two main reasons for the fall in use of additional days. First, from April 2001, additional days were no longer available as a punishment for juveniles on Detention and Training Orders. Secondly, a European ruling in July 2002 led to the withdrawal of the governor's power to impose additional days. This power passed to independent adjudicators, and from October 2002 district judges began conducting adjudications in establishments, imposing additional days where appropriate.  

## Number Of Offences Punished And Punishments Given

Of all offences punished in 2009, disobedience or disrespect was the most common for both males and females:  40,000 offences punished of a total of 105,000 (38 per cent). For males the 2009 figure was 37,000 of a total of 98,300 offences punished (38 per cent) and for females the figure was 3,000 of a total of 6,500 offences punished (46 per cent). In 2009, forfeiture of privileges was the most common punishment given for the offence of breaching prison discipline.  There were 79,200 such punishments of a total of 171,000 for males (46 per cent of all punishments given) and 5,500 of a total of 10,800 punishments for females (51 per cent of all punishments given). For the small number of escapes or absconds (90), 60 punishments of additional days of a total of 120 punishments were awarded. This was the most common punishment for this offence at 51 per cent of punishments given, for males and females. In 2009, the average number of punishments given per offence to males was the same as for females, at 1.7. For males, the offence categories of violence and wilful damage received the highest average number of punishments per offence, at 1.8. The highest average number of punishments per offence for females was wilful damage at 1.8, followed by violence at 1.7. 

For all males and females, the average number of punishments given per offence was similar across the different ethnic groups (from 1.7 for White, Asian or Asian British, Chinese or other ethnic group; to 1.8 for Mixed and Black or Black British).

(1) The number of offences and punishments within each offence and punishment group in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. 

   Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. Figures are rounded to nearest whole number. Due to rounding, components may not sum to totals.

(2) Including suspended and prospective punishments. (3) Includes exclusion from associated work (prisons and remand centres only), and removal from activities, removal from wing or living area, and extra work or fatigues (all young offender institutions only).

(4) The number of offences punished and punishments given are not equal because in many cases two or more punishments are given for a single offence. *    Indicates one or both of the figures are less than 50 which could give rise to misleading averages.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accuate to that level. See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

(1) As detailed in Prison Rule 51 or Young Offenders Institute (YOI) Rule 55 offence paragraph. Includes offences committed at one establishment and punished at another. 

Includes attempting, inciting and assisting under Rules 51(25) and 55(25), except for attempted escapes, which are shown separately. See Appendix A for sub paragraph numbers of Prison Rule 51 or YOI Rule 55, that relates to each detailed offence.

(2) The number of offences and punishments within each offence and punishment group in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. Figures are rounded to nearest whole number. Due to rounding, components may not sum to totals.

(3) Including suspended and prospective punishments. (4) Includes exclusion from associated work (prisons and remand centres only), and removal from activities, removal from wing or living area, and extra work or fatigues (all young offender institutions only).

(5) The number of offences punished and punishments given are not equal because in many cases two or more punishments are given for a single offence.

* Indicates one or both of the figures are less than 50 which could give rise to misleading averages.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accuate to that level.

(1) The number of offences and punishments within each offence and punishment group in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. Figures are rounded to nearest whole number. Due to rounding, components may not sum to totals.

(2) Including suspended and prospective punishments.

(3) Includes exclusion from associated work (prisons and remand centres only), and removal from activities, removal from wing or living area, and extra work or fatigues (all young offender institutions only).

(4) The number of offences punished and punishments given are not equal because in many cases two or more punishments are given for a single offence. (5) These offences were recorded under the 1991 Census categories which have been replace with the 2001 Census categories. 

Direct comparisons between the two classifications should not be made, therefore they have been separated.

* Indicates one or both of the figures are less than 50 which could give rise to misleading averages.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accuate to that level. See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

## Chapter 9: Releases And Recalls

Prisoners are released from prison under a variety of schemes, depending on sentence length, offence type and legislation that was in force at the time.  See the technical annex for more information. In 2009, 76,000 adults and 15,200 young offenders were discharged from determinate sentences, down 3 per cent and 10 per cent respectively compared with 2008.  However, between 2003 and 2009, the total number of discharges from determinate sentences increased by 7 per cent, which reflected a similar rise in receptions from 2003 to 2008. 

In 2009, the percentage of sentence served for all determinate sentences was 59 per cent, down from 60 per cent in 2008; these figures include time on remand.  The percentage of time served is affected by use of remand (particularly for short sentences where the length of time remanded in custody prior to being sentenced typically represents a greater proportion of the total sentence given) and release practices (both the use of early release schemes such as Home Detention Curfew or End of Custody Licence - mainly affecting shorter sentences - and decisions made by the Parole Board - mainly affecting longer sentences).  The decrease between 
2008 and 2009 reflects a slight increase in the use of Home Detention Curfew (HDC) 
between 2008 and 2009, and the impact of legislation introduced in 2008 under which most offenders are now released automatically at the halfway point (previously some longer sentenced prisoners were released at the two-thirds point - see Appendix A for further information). Over the longer term the percentage of time served for determinate sentences has risen from 56 per cent in 1999 to 59 per cent in 2009.  This reflects falling use of HDC over the period (particularly from 2003-2007) and a decline in the parole release rate from 2006/07. 

Around 11,500 prisoners were released on Home Detention Curfew (HDC) in 2009.  
This was a HDC release rate of 22 per cent7, slightly higher than the rate of 20 per cent in 2008, but well below the highest release rate of 37 per cent seen in 2002 and 2003.  At the end of 2009 there were 2,500 offenders on HDC, down from 2,600 at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 1,400 decisions to recall from HDC, no change from 2008.   The most common reason for recall, which accounted for 64 per cent of all recalls, was breaching HDC conditions, this rate in 2008 was 74 per cent.  Sixteen per cent of recalls were on the grounds of being charged with a new offence, an increase from 
12 per cent in 2008. Around 1,700 determinate sentence prisoners were considered for parole in 2009-
10, down from 2,900 in 2008-09.  The number has fallen each year since 2005-06 
(when it was 7,600) following changes in legislation (see Appendix A for further information).  Of those prisoners considered for parole, around 300 were released, a release rate of just under one fifth (18 per cent).  The release rate ten years ago in 
1999-00 was 41 per cent, rising to a high point of 53 per cent between 2002 and 
2004.  Since then the release rate has fallen most years, reflecting the increasing seriousness of determinate cases seen by the Parole Board following changes in legislation. In 2009-10, 250 parolees were recalled, a decrease of 46 per cent from 2008-09; this reflects the fall in numbers considered for release by the Parole Board following changes in legislation (see Appendix A for further information).  In the same period, a total of 13,900 determinate sentence offenders were recalled to custody, an increase of 18 per cent on 2008-09.  
In 2009, 195 indeterminate sentenced prisoners were released for the first time: 142 
from a life sentence and 53 from an Indeterminate sentence for Public Protection 
(IPP - see Appendix A for further information).  This is 4 more lifers than those first released in 2008 and 17 more IPPs released than in 2008. In 2009, 124 offenders on life licence and 21 offenders released from IPP sentences were recalled to prison. This is 16 more life licence recalls than in 2008 and 9 more recalls after release from serving an IPP sentence than in 2008. The length of time served by life sentence prisoners varies considerably. In addition to being released on life licence, life sentence prisoners can be discharged for other reasons, such as successful appeals, or transfers to other jurisdictions or to psychiatric hospitals.  The mean time served for mandatory lifers first released from prison in 2009 on life licence was 17 years, an increase of 1 from the previous year. For other lifers the mean time served increased by 2 years to 11 years mean time served.  The 53 IPP prisoners released in 2009 had served a mean time of 3 years. In 2009, there were 29,400 releases on End of Custody Licence (ECL).  Of these, 68 
per cent were serving sentences of up to 6 months.  Over the same period, there were 900 decisions to recall prisoners whilst on ECL. It was announced on 22 
February 2010 that the scheme would end on 12 March 2010.  All prisoners who were eligible for release on ECL on or before 12 March would be released. Prisoners who had, by 22 February, been formally notified under form ECL3 of release dates up to and including 9 April, would also be released. No prisoners would be released on ECL after 9 April 2010.  There were 4,700 releases on ECL from 1 January 2010 to 9 April 2010.  Over the same period, there were 135 
decisions to recall prisoners whilst on ECL.  
There were 420,0008 releases on temporary licence in 2009, a 4 per cent decrease compared to 2008.  Resettlement day release licences accounted for 92 per cent of all temporary releases.  Of these, 240,0008 were for the working out scheme.  

## 

Inmates abscond when they unlawfully gain liberty, without having to overcome any physical security restraint and at a time when they were not in the presence of an officer specifically assigned to guard them. In 2009 there were 390 absconds, no change from the previous year, and lower than at any other time in the last 10 years. 

In 2009, there were 3 escapes from prison establishments, 3 from prison escorts and 12 escapes from escort contractors.  There were 250 temporary release failures in 2009, down slightly from 270 in 2008. The failure rate when compared to the number of licences issued was 0.1 per cent, the same rate since 2000.

(1)  Excludes discharges following recall after release on licence, non-criminals, persons committed to custody for non-payment of a fine, persons reclassified as adult prisoners and deported prisoners.

(2)  Rounded to the nearest 100.  Due to rounding components may not sum to grand totals. (3) The number of discharges within each sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. (4) The 2009 figures for average sentence length and average time served have been calculated using data for January to June 2009. (5)  Rounded to nearest whole number.

(1)  Excludes discharges following recall after release on licence, non-criminals, persons committed to custody for non-payment of a fine, persons reclassified as adult prisoners and deported prisoners.

(2)  Rounded to the nearest 100.  Due to rounding components may not sum to grand totals. (3) The number of discharges within each sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. (4) The 2009 figures for average sentence length and average time served have been calculated using data for January to June 2009. (5)  Rounded to nearest whole number.

(1)  Excludes discharges following recall after release on licence, non-criminals, persons committed to custody for non-payment of a fine, persons reclassified as adult prisoners and deported prisoners.

(2)  Rounded to the nearest 100.  Due to rounding components may not sum to grand totals. (3) The number of discharges within each sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. (4) The 2009 figures for average sentence length and average time served have been calculated using data for January to June 2009. (5)  Rounded to nearest whole number.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system.

(1)  Excludes discharges following recall after release on licence, non-criminals, persons committed to custody for non-payment of a fine, persons reclassified as adult prisoners and deported prisoners.

(2)  Rounded to the nearest 100.  Due to rounding components may not sum to grand totals. (3) The number of discharges within each sentence length band in 2009 have been estimated using data from January to June 2009. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. (4) The 2009 figures for average sentence length and average time served have been calculated using data for January to June 2009. (5)  Rounded to nearest whole number.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.

(1) Data for 2009 are based on information recorded on the central prison IT system on 30 April 2010. (2) This is the number of offenders serving sentences of between 3 months and 4 years potentially eligible for release on home detention curfew (HDC) in the relevant period.  In practice offenders are subject to a risk assessment before being considered for release on HDC, so some of these offenders will turn out not to be eligible for release on HDC. (3) The 2009 eligible for release on HDC figures have been estimated using data from January to June 2009, and rounded to the nearest 100. Please refer to Appendix B for detail on the estimation methodology. (4) The 2009 percentage released has been calculated with the number released on HDC from Jan 09 to Jun 09 as a proportion of those eligible for HDC between Jan 09 to Jun 09. (5) The figures have been rounded to the nearest 100.

(1) Data for 2009 are based on information recorded on the central prison IT system on 30 April 2010.  Further updates and amendments may be made to records on this system in future resulting in revised figures. (2) Existing prisoners refers to prisoners serving sentences prior to the commencement of the Criminal Justice Act 1991. There are now very few such prisoners, so from 2009 the figures for existing and DCR prisoners are no longer shown separately. (3) DCR is discretionary conditional release - for further information please refer to Appendix B.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level. See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

(1)  In 2006 the categories of releases on temporary licence (ROTL) were changed following a review of the policy. The new licences are described in Prison Service Order 6300.  A breakdown of the old licence categories can be found in OMCS 2006. (2) Total includes one unclassified ROTL (3) 2009 ROTLs have been estimated using data from Jan 09 to Jun 09 and rounded to the nearest 100. Please refer to Appendix B for estimation methodology.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

(1) Excludes serious violent offences such as murder, manslaughter, wounding with intent to commit Grievous Bodily Harm, possession of a firearm  intent to endanger life, child cruelty and serious explosives offences. A full list of exclusions can be found in Prison Service Instruction 42/2007 (which consolidates and replaces PSI 27/2007). (2) Details of specific releases in error and apparent differences to policy between 29 June and 31 December 2007 were listed in OMCS 2007 and in
   each of the relevant monthly ECL reports. (3) Details of releases in error for 2008 are listed in OMCS 2008. (4) A prisoner was released on ECL after serving a sentence for a sexual offence in 2009. The prisoner was not subject to notification requirements of the Sex Offenders Act 2003; the release was correct. (5) In 2009, three prisoners serving sentences of 4 years or more were released in error. No reoffending was reported during the period on ECL. (6) Decisions to recall between 1 January 2009 and 26 April 2010 reported to NOMS Public Protection Unit by 26 May 2010. This updates previously published data.

(7) The total of reasons for recall is not the same as the total number of decisions to recall because offenders can be recalled for more than one reason.

(8) Alleged re-offending may lead to recall of the offender even though, at the point of the recall, the offender may not have formally been charged.

(9) The offender's behaviour indicates an increased risk of reoffending or harm. (10) On 22 February 2010, the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor announced that the ECL scheme would end on 12 March 2010. All prisoners who were eligible for release on ECL on or before 12 March would be released.

(1)   Prior to 2001 recall cases involving new charges were not separately identified from those cases not involving new charges on the prison IT system. (2)   Data for 2009 are based on information recorded on the central prison IT system on 30 April 2010.  Further updates and amendments may be made to records on this system in future resulting in revised figures.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.  See Technical appendix of report for fuller information.

Data Sources and Quality These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems.  Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.

## Chapter 10:  Mentally Disordered Offenders

The Mental Health Act 1983 provides an alternative to prison and the criminal justice 
services for the management of Mentally Disordered Offenders. It enables them to 
be detained in hospital for treatment and to be managed on the basis of their clinical 
condition and the risk they pose rather than any element of punishment.   
 
Offenders may be detained in hospital as restricted or unrestricted patients.  
Unrestricted patients are managed solely by their doctors, subject to review by the 
Mental Health Tribunal.  Unrestricted patients remain detained for as long as their 
mental disorder requires treatment in hospital.  This is a matter of clinical judgement.  
 
Restricted patients are generally offenders found by the sentencing court to pose a 
risk of serious harm to others. By making a restriction order, the court provides that 
the offender cannot be discharged, transferred from one hospital to another or 
allowed leave in the community without the consent of the Secretary of State. 
However, the Mental Health Tribunal has a duty to discharge restricted patients if it is 
not satisfied that the criteria for detention continue to be met. 
  
The rationale for the existence of the Secretary of State's powers is that the control 
of patients who have been found to be dangerous and who are not being punished, 
should be vested in an authority which would have special regard to the protection of 
the public.   
 
The Mental Health Act 1983 is also used to detain prisoners who have been given 
prison sentences by the sentencing court.  Where the sentencing Court, or the 
Secretary of State, directs a prisoner to be detained in hospital under the 1983 Act, 
the prisoner will be managed subject to restrictions.  He cannot be discharged into 
the community during the term of his prison sentence but will be returned to prison 
once treatment is complete.  
 
This chapter presents data on restricted patients only.  This data was published 
previously by the Ministry of Justice as the "Statistics of mentally disordered 
offenders" statistics bulletin. 
 
In 2009, 4,300 restricted patients were detained in hospital, an increase of 8 per cent 
on 4,000 in 2008.    

Numbers of male and female restricted patients were 3,700 or 87 per cent and 550 
or 13 per cent respectively.  The proportion of restricted patients in 2009 who were 
female was more than twice the proportion of females in the general prison 
population (5 per cent), a difference which has been evident over the previous ten 
years. 

Restricted patients also had an older age profile than the general prison population. 
4 per cent of restricted patients were aged 20 or under in 2009, 89 per cent were 
aged 21-59 years and 8 per cent were aged 60 or more. The equivalent figures for 
the general prison population in 2009 were 12 per cent, 84 per cent and 3 per cent; 

In 2009, 1,000 of restricted patients were detained following transfer from prison, an increase of 9 per cent on 940 in 2008; There were 1,500 admissions to hospital in 2009, an increase of 3 per cent on 1,500 admissions in 2008.  96 per cent of admissions to high secure hospitals were male; 
The number transferred from prison to hospital increased slightly in 2009 compared to 2008, from 930 to 940 (61 per cent of total 2009 admissions).  520 offenders were transferred after sentence and 420 were transferred while unsentenced or untried; The number admitted under restricted hospital orders increased slightly in 2009 compared to 2008 figures from 340 to 360, (23 per cent of total 2009 admissions); 
In 2009, 200 restricted patients were recalled to hospital after a conditional discharge, an increase of 6 per cent on 190 in 2008.  13 per cent of admissions in 2009 were recalled patients; There were 1,300 discharges/disposals of restricted patients, 2 per cent more than in 2008. Of these, 510 (or 40 per cent) were discharged into the community in 2009.

1 Prior to 2005, this data consisted of patients detained variously under Sections 37 or 41 of the Mental Health Act 1983, Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, or Criminal Procedure (Insanity) Act 1964 who were conditionally discharged but subsequently recalled by the Secretary of State.  From 2005 onwards, these patients are classified under their original legal category, eg. "Hospital order with restriction order," "Unfit to Plead" or "Not guilty by reason of insanity."

2 Mentally disordered offenders are liable for detention in psychiatric hospitals. High secure hospitals hold patients detained under mental health legislation, who require treatment under conditions of high security because of their dangerous, violent or criminal propensities. There are three high secure hospitals, Ashworth, Broadmoor and Rampton. In this bulletin, the category, "Other hospitals" refers to any other psychiatric hospital in England and Wales, which admits mentally disordered offenders as well as other patients.

1Figures for 2005 were derived following a manual matching procedure after inaccuracies were revealed during validation, however the impact was small and figures can therefore be compared to previous years.

2The term discharge refers to release into the community, by whatever means, with or without restrictions. May include a small number of cases with more than one disposal in the year.

3In addition to figures for years 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009,  there were 96, 73, 82, 83 and 85 more patients respectively granted absolute discharge following a previous conditional discharge.

## Appendix A - Definitions 1. Probation

The National Probation Service generally deals with those aged 18 years and over. (Those under 18 are mostly dealt with by Youth Offending Teams, answering to the Youth Justice Board.)  They are responsible for supervising offenders who are given community sentences and Suspended Sentence Orders by the courts, as well as offenders given custodial sentences, both pre and post their release. 

## Probation Service Pre-Sentence Reports (Chapter 2)

The introduction of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 established a new framework for court reports prepared by the Probation Service, which means that from 4 April 2005 the types of reports changed. The current reports are as follows: 
Standard Delivery **Pre-sentence reports (PSRs)** - Written reports prepared by probation staff. They provide information to the sentencing court about the offender and the offence(s) committed and they assist the court in deciding on a suitable sentence. They should provide a full risk assessment and a proposal for sentencing that takes into account the risk of harm to others, the likelihood of re-offending, the nature of the offence and the suitability of the offender. They effectively replaced Pre-sentence reports. 

Fast Delivery PSRs– A shortened form of Pre-sentence report, provided on the same day by probation staff. They can either be delivered to the court as written or oral reports. The report helps the sentencing court determine the offender's suitability for a specific sentence envisaged by the court. They effectively replaced Specific sentence reports (SSRs) which were introduced during 1999, although SSRs had to be written reports. 

Breach reports - Reports written specifically to assist the court with its resentencing decisions in breach hearings. 

Deferred sentence reports - Reports written for the court where an offender appears for sentence following an original deferred sentence. 

Prior to 4 April 2005, non-contact **PSRs were also prepared –** A non-contact PSR 
was any written PSR where there has been no interview with the offender, e.g. nonattendance by the offender at interview. The probation officer was required to submit a written notice to the court giving reasons why the report had not been completed. 

## Probation Service Supervision (Chapters 3, 4 And 5)

The **main types of supervision for offences committed on or after 4 April 2005** 
are: 
Community Order - this new Order was introduced under the CJA03 and replaced all existing community sentences for adults.  Under this order, one or more of 12 possible requirements must be added, such as supervision, unpaid work and drug treatment.   
Suspended Sentence Order - this new Order was introduced for offences which pass the custody threshold.  One or more of the same set of 12 possible requirements must be added to this order. 

An additional change due to the introduction of CJA03 is for those sentenced to 12 months or more in custody. Unless considered dangerous, these prisoners will be released on licence at the halfway point of the sentence. They will remain on licence, and subject to recall if they breach the conditions of their licence, for the entire remaining period of their sentence, instead of to the three-quarter point.  See also section below entitled Section 26 Criminal Justice & Immigration Act 2008 (CJIA08). The **main types of supervision until April 2005** were: Children and Young Persons Act 1969 (C&YP 1969) - this is a supervision order of up to 3 years length for those aged under 18. It may have additional requirements similar to those of a CRO. Youth Offending Teams, not the Probation Service, have supervised these orders since 2000. 

Community Rehabilitation Order (CRO) - this was of 6 months to 3 years length, for those aged 16 and over. It might have additional requirements such as residence, probation centre attendance or treatment for drug, alcohol or mental health problems. CRO was formerly a Probation Order. 

Community Punishment Order (CPO) - consisted of 40 to 240 hours of unpaid work (20 to 100 hours for fine defaulters) for those aged 16 and over. CPO was formerly a Community Service Order. 

Community Punishment and Rehabilitation Order (CPRO) - was of 1 to 3 year probation supervision in addition to 40-100 hours community punishment for those aged 16 and over. It had additional requirements like those of a CRO. CPRO was formerly a Combination Order. 

Drug Treatment and Testing Order (DTTO) - was of 6 months to 3 years length for those aged 16 and over. This Order was introduced nationally from 1 October 2000, following a pilot which started 30 September 1998.   A DTTO with a lower intensity treatment plan was introduced across NPS from 2004-05, targeted at offenders with less serious drug misuse and offending. 

Money Payment Supervision Order (MPSO) - Youth and adult magistrates' courts could enforce monetary penalties by appointing a member of the Probation Service (or other person) to supervise the offender. 

Suspended Sentence Supervision Order (SSSO) - where the Crown Court suspended a 6 month to 2 year prison sentence they could ask the Probation Service to supervise.  

## Other Terms Used In Chapters 3, 4 And 5 For Offenders Under Probation Supervision

Community Sentences - This term refers to all court orders except Suspended Sentence Orders and Deferred Sentences, which may have a custodial component to the sentence. 

Court Orders - The term court orders used in the text includes all the 'orders' listed. 

It does not include any pre or post release supervision. 

Post-release supervision - All prisoners given a custodial sentence of 12 months or more serve a proportion of their sentence in custody and are then released on licence. They are supervised by probation staff before and after release from custody. In addition, offenders with sentences of less than 12 months who are aged under 22 receive a minimum of 3 months post-release supervision, provided this does not extend beyond their 22nd birthday.  
Pre-release supervision - Home supervising officers along with probation staff in prisons work jointly with prison staff on sentence planning and management, including consideration of post-release issues.  
Supervision Tier - Supervision tier indicates the level of intervention required with offenders, with tier 1 being the lowest and tier 4 the highest. The Offender Management Tiering framework is a way of categorising offenders according to the level of risk of serious harm and likelihood of reoffending presented by the individual, combined with the complexity of the sentence requirements.  This process aims to protect the public by ensuring that the appropriate organisational resources, in terms of staff and time, are matched to the correct management of the case. 

Terminations - A period of supervision (eg. a Community Order) which comes to an end, either because the order has been completed successfully, or because the order has been breached and terminated early for negative reasons (such as failing to comply with its requirements) or because of some other neutral reason, such as the order being quashed by the court or the person having died. 

## 2. Prison Prison Receptions (Chapter 6)

There are five categories of prison receptions:  
Untried - those awaiting commencement or continuation of trial prior to verdict. 

Convicted unsentenced - those awaiting sentence. 

(Prisoners received as untried or convicted unsentenced are counted as remand receptions). 

Sentenced - those held in custody as a result of receiving a sentence in a criminal court. Persons committed in default of payment of a fine are normally included in this group. NB. **Immediate custodial sentenced** numbers do not include fine defaulters. 

Fine defaulters - persons committed in default of payment of a fine. 

Non-criminal - held for civil offences. 

First receptions provide an indication of the number of new prisoners in a time period. A person received into prison to serve a sentence may previously have been received on remand after conviction prior to sentence and before that as a remand prisoner awaiting trial. First receptions will count that prisoner only once in the relevant time period in which they were first received. 

## Prison Population (Chapter 7)

Mandatory Life Sentence - For adults who commit murder. Discretionary Life Sentence - For adults who commit other serious offences (e.g. 

manslaughter, arson, rape and causing an explosion). 

Automatic Life Sentence - For a second serious violent or sexual offence but an offender aged 18 or over.  Replaced in April 2005 by the indeterminate sentence for Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP). 

Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) - Applies to offenders convicted of a specified sexual or violent offence carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment or more (called "serious specified offences") and who are considered by the courts to be dangerous.  Applies to adults and young offenders. 

Detention during Her Majesty's Pleasure - The only sentence available to the courts for a person convicted of murder who was aged over 10 but under 18 at the time of the offence. 

Custody for Life - The mandatory sentence for a person aged 18 or over but under 
21 at the time of the offence who is convicted of murder and sentenced while under 
21.  Also a discretionary sentence for those in this age group convicted of other offences for which a maximum sentence of life imprisonment can be passed on an adult. 

## Detention For Public Protection (Dpp) - Equivalent To An Ipp But For Under 18S.

Detention for Life - Equivalent to a discretionary life sentence.  Available for persons aged over 10 but under 18 convicted of offences other than murder, for which a life sentence may be passed on an adult.  
The **World Prison Population List (WPPL)** gives details of the number of prisoners held in 214 independent countries and dependent territories. It shows that there are more than 9.25 million people held in penal institutions worldwide and that prison population rates vary considerably between different regions of the world and between different parts of the same continent. The WPPL draws on information from national prison administrations and national statistical offices and also, in respect of Europe, on the Council of Europe Annual Penal Statistics (SPACE). 

The selection of countries for **international comparison** consists of: the constituent parts of the United Kingdom, the other countries of the EU, other European OECD 
countries, the country that is expected to become the 28th member of the EU shortly (Croatia), the three other large European countries (Russia, Turkey and Ukraine), the seven non-European OECD countries, Brazil and South Africa. 

## Adjudications - Breaches Of Prison Discipline (Chapter 8)

Breaches of prison discipline - These are set out in Prison Rules 1999, as amended by the Prison (Amendment) Rules 2000, the Prison (Amendment No. 2) 
Rules 2000, the Prison (Amendment) Rules 2002, the Prison (Amendment) Rules 2003, the Prison (Amendment) Rules 2005 and the Prison (Amendment) (No. 2) Rules 2005 and also in the Young Offender Institution Rules 2000, as amended by the Young Offender Institution (Amendment) Rules 2002, the Young Offender Institution (Amendment) Rules 2005 and the Young Offender Institution (Amendment) (No. 2) Rules 2005. 

Additional days punishment - From April 2001, additional days were no longer available as a punishment for juveniles on Detention and Training Orders. A 
European ruling in July 2002 led to the withdrawal of the governor's power to impose additional days. This power passed to independent adjudicators and from October 2002 district judges began conducting adjudications in establishments, imposing additional days where appropriate.

## Discharges From Prison (Chapter 9)

Discharges from prison (and the data relating to them) generally fall under one of three main areas of legislation: the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (CJA03); Crime 
(Sentences) Act 1997; and Criminal Justice Act 1991 (CJA91).  Arrangements for the early release of prisoners under the Home Detention Curfew and End of Custody Licence schemes are set out after the paragraph on life sentence prisoners. The CJA03 introduced new arrangements for the release of prisoners, which apply only to offences committed on or after 4 April 2005. 

## (I) Public Protection Sentences

New public protection sentences were introduced to improve the management of dangerous offenders. Those offenders judged to be dangerous, and who have committed serious sexual or violent offences, can be kept in prison until the Parole Board judges it is safe to release them (Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection). If they have committed less serious offences they may serve an extended period on licence. At the halfway point of the custodial term the offender may be released if the Parole Board determines it is safe to do so, but release will not be automatic until the end of the term (Extended Sentence for Public Protection - EPP). In July 2008, section 25 of the **Criminal Justice & Immigration Act 2008** (CJIA08) 
made changes to the release arrangements for EPPs. Offenders are automatically released on licence halfway through the custodial part of the sentence, rather than halfway release being at the Parole Board's discretion. 

## (Ii) Determinate Sentences Of 12 Months Or More

Unless considered dangerous, those sentenced to 12 months or more (Standard Determinate Sentences) are released on licence at the halfway point of sentence and remain on licence, subject to recall if they breach the conditions of their licence, for the entire remaining period of their sentence instead of to the three-quarter point as previously. New arrangements for recalling prisoners who breach their licence mean that they are recalled to prison immediately, with the Parole Board reviewing each case of recall and deciding whether the recall was appropriate and what should happen next. These recall arrangements apply to all prisoners on licence from 4 April 
2005. In July 2008, section 29 of the CJIA08 introduced fixed term recalls. These apply to those offenders who are serving a determinate sentence for offences which are neither violent nor of a sexual nature (as set out in Schedule 15 to the CJA03) and have been assessed as not presenting a risk of serious harm to the public. If recalled, this is for a fixed period of up to 28 days, at which point the offender must be automatically re-released. 

## (Iii) Sentences Of Less Than 12 Months

Those sentenced to less than 12 months for offences committed on or after 4 April 2005 remain subject to the release provisions of the CJA 1991 (i.e. Automatic Unconditional Release, unless a young offender subject to a s65 3 month notice of supervision under s65 CJA 1991). Prior to the CJA03, part II of the CJA91 applied and dealt with early release of prisoners and introduced provisions to replace the previous systems of parole and remission. The relevant parts of the Act were implemented on 1 October 1992 and applied to those sentenced on or after that date. There were three schemes based on sentence length under the 1991 Act: 

 **Automatic unconditional release (AUR)** - those sentenced to less than 12 
months were released automatically half way through their sentence. Adults 
were not subject to supervision following release, but young offenders (those under the age of 22 released from a term of Detention in a YOI) were subject to a minimum of 3 months supervision. All were 'at risk' until the very end of their sentence; that is, if they committed a further imprisonable offence before the end of their original sentence, the court dealing with the new offence might add all or part of the outstanding sentence to any new sentence it imposes. 

 **Automatic conditional release (ACR)** - those sentenced to 12 months or 
more but less than 4 years were released automatically half way through their sentence. They were released on licence and subject to supervision up to three 
quarters (or to the end in case of some sex offenders) and were 'at risk' to the 
end of the original sentence. 
 **Discretionary conditional release (DCR) –** those sentenced to 4 years or 
more were eligible for parole half way through their sentence. If parole was not granted then release occurred at the two-thirds point of the sentence (or at a 
subsequent parole review if earlier). Release, when it occurred, was on licence 
and subject to supervision up to three quarters (or to the end in the case of 
some sex offenders) and all were 'at risk' until the end of the original sentence. 
In July 2008, section 26 of the CJIA08 was introduced to bring long-term 1991 Act prisoners, serving a sentence of 4 years or more for an offence not specified in Schedule 15 of the CJA03, into line with those prisoners subject to the release provisions of the 2003 Act. As a result, all DCR prisoners whose halfway point falls on or after 9 June 2008, providing they have not committed an offence specified in Schedule 15, are released automatically at the halfway point of their sentence rather than the two-thirds point. These prisoners are subject to licence supervision until the end of their sentence and not the three-quarter point as before. Those not 'converted' (whose offence(s) are specified in Schedule 15 or whose half-way point fell before s26 was implemented on 9 June 2008) remain subject to the DCR release arrangements described above. 

Life sentence - a life sentence is wholly indeterminate. There is no entitlement to release at any stage but offenders may be considered for release on licence once the minimum period imposed to meet the requirements of retribution and deterrence has been served. The release of all life sentence prisoners is entirely at the discretion of the Parole Board. The main criterion governing the Parole Board's consideration is the level of risk of serious harm that the lifer may pose to others. If released, life sentence prisoners are on licence for the rest of their lives and are liable to recall at any time. Life sentence prisoners are released under the terms of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997. 

Home Detention Curfew (HDC) - was implemented on 28 January 1999. This involved some prisoners serving sentences between 3 months and less than 4 years spending up to the last 2 months of the custodial part of their sentence on an electronically monitored curfew (subject to meeting the eligibility requirements and passing a risk assessment). Two changes were made to the HDC scheme in 2002: the introduction of the Presumptive HDC scheme in May 2002 for prisoners serving between 3 months and under 12 months and the increase of the maximum curfew period to 90 days on 16 December 2002. On 14 July 2003 the maximum curfew period was increased to 135 days. 

End of Custody Licence (ECL) - On 22 February 2010, the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor announced that the ECL scheme would end on 12 March 2010. All prisoners who were eligible for release on ECL on or before 12 March would be released. Prisoners who had, by 22 February, been formally notified, under form ECL3, of release dates under the scheme up to and including 9 
April, would also be released. No prisoners were released on ECL after 9 April 2010. 

Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) - allows prisoners to be released temporarily for either compassionate reasons or to help the prisoner improve their chances of resettlement after their release. 

## Changes To Ethnicity Categories (Chapters 2-9)

In March 2003 the Prison Service began to introduce the new ethnic categories based on the 2001 Census of Population. Information on receptions under these categories was available from the latter part of 2003 onwards. Information on the prison population by the new categories was available from the middle of 2005. The Census 2001 categories replaced the 9+1 categories of the 1991 Census with 16+1 
categories. It introduced 4 Mixed categories, 3 White categories where there was one previously and an extra Asian category. Because of these changes (which affects all tables with an ethnicity breakdown in the Volume) especially the introduction of the Mixed group, comparisons between the two classifications should not be made.  

## Mentally Disordered Offenders (Chapter 10) Admissions

Admissions are on the basis of detention authority determined by the sentencing court or the Mental Health Casework Section of Public Protection and Mental Health Group on behalf of the Secretary of State and/or where a patient's legal category changes. For example, patient who transfers from prison to hospital while unsentenced or untried changes legal category if the sentencing court applies a restriction order.  For this reason, the patient will appear twice in Table 5: first under the category, "Transfers from Prison (Transferred from Prison Service establishment while unsentenced or untried)," and secondly under, "All admissions (Hospital order with restriction order)."  Transfers between hospitals in England and Wales are not counted as separate admissions, unless the patient's legal category also changes. 

## Discharges

Discharge refers to release into the community, by whatever means, with or without restrictions. Discharge could be ordered by either the Secretary of State or the Mental Health Tribunal.  Conditional discharge means that the patient remains liable to detention in hospital and may be recalled by the Secretary of State.  The term disposal covers all other outcomes and movements (eg. returns to custody) other than a transfer to another hospital in England and Wales. 

## Appendix B - Data Sources And Quality

The data presented in this publication are drawn from 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.  Where figures in the tables have been rounded to the nearest whole number, the rounded components do not always add to the totals, which are calculated and rounded independently.  
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. 

There are **three main sources** for the statistics presented in this publication: 

 Court reports prepared by the Probation Service;  Probation Service supervision - monthly probation listings;  Prison flows and population - monthly F1032s and Inmate Information

## Prison Data - Estimation Methodology For 2009

In May 2009, the National Offender Management Service began the roll-out of a new case management system for prisons (Prison-NOMIS). During the phased roll-out, data collection issues emerged that affected the supply of data for statistical purposes from July 2009 to February 2010.  Specifically, statistical information on sentence length and offence group are not available on any of our prison datasets for this period.  For this publication, that affects prison receptions, population, discharges and adjudications (chapters 6-9). In order to maintain an annual time series of data, and as announced in the statistical notice on the Ministry of Justice website on 26 March 2010, wherever possible the missing figures have been estimated for the second half of 2009.  A number of estimation methods were considered, and each tested on the 2008 data (prior to the data problems, hence we had a full year of data) to see which yielded estimates closest to the actual 2008 data.  This identified the following method: 
 

1. Calculate data for the first half of the year as a proportion of the full calendar 
year, for each year from 2001 to 2008; separately for each sentence length band or offence group (the 2 key breakdowns to be estimated). 2. Apply the average of these proportions to the Jan-Jun 2009 data to estimate 
the 2009 annual totals; separately for each sentence length band/offence group. 
 
3. Scale the estimated numbers in each sentence length band or offence group 
to sum to the annual total recorded in the raw data (where the totals are known to be correct). 
 
The method was applied to the affected datasets as follows: 

## Chapter 6 - Prison Receptions

Estimation was required for tables 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.8, 6.9 and 6.11. Breakdowns by either sentence length band or offence group were estimated using steps 1-3 above.  This affects tables 6.1, 6.2, 6.8, 6.9 and 6.11 Table 6.3 gives a breakdown by both sentence length band and offence group.  This table was estimated by applying the method described above, and then additionally scaling the figures to ensure the estimated breakdowns summed to both the estimated totals for each sentence length band, and the estimated totals for each offence group.  

## Chapter 7 - Prison Population

Virtually all tables in this chapter are based on the prison population as at 30 June, and are therefore not affected by the prison data problems which impacted data from July 2009 onwards. 

Estimation was required for table 7.7 which gives a breakdown of annual average population (average of the 12 month-end figures) by gender, sentence type and adult/young offender split.  These figures were estimated using a similar method to that described above: 

 Calculate each segment (e.g. male untried, male convicted unsentenced) as a 
proportion of the total prison population for each month from January 2008 to June 2009.  Earlier data was not used because the make up of the prison population changes over time, so a given segment as a proportion of the total will also change over time, making more recent data the best comparison. 
 
 Apply the average of these proportions to the total prison population for 2009 
(average annual prison population). 
 
 Scale the estimated numbers in each segment to ensure the components sum 
to the correct total. 
 

## Chapter 8 - Adjudications (Breaches Of Prison Discipline)

Estimation was required for all tables. Tables 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 were estimated using steps 1-2 above (with the average proportions based on data for 2005 - 2008 rather than 2001-2008 because earlier data was not available); the scaling in step 3 was not necessary because the data problems affected the annual totals, so there were no annual totals to scale to. Table 8.4 was estimated using steps 1-3 above; the scaling in step 3 was used to ensure that the estimated figures summed to the subtotals in table 8.3. 

Table 8.5 was estimated using steps 1-3 above (with the average proportions based on data for 2006 - 2008 because the ethnicity categories changed from 2006 
onwards); the scaling in step 3 was used to ensure that the estimated figures summed to the subtotals in table 8.3. 

## Chapter 9 - Prison Discharges

Estimation was required for tables 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.6. Tables 9.1 and 9.2 were estimated using steps 1-3 above. Tables 9.3 and 9.6 were estimated using steps 1-2 above; the scaling in step 3 was not necessary because the data problems affected the annual totals, so there were no annual totals to scale to. For table 9.3, the average proportion used in step 2 excluded 2007 data because it was skewed due to the introduction of End of Custody Licence in June 2007.  

## Court Reports

Until 30th June 2005, probation areas were required to submit quarterly aggregate data showing the number of pre-sentence, specific sentence and deferred sentence reports written, by type of court, in a specific quarter. The definitions of these reports were revised however from 1 April 2005 by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (see table 2.1). From 1 July 2005 onwards, a new system for collecting monthly reports data at the individual offender level was introduced, with details of actual sentences given to offenders and the sentences proposed by reports. 

## Probation Service Supervision - Monthly/Quarterly And Probation Listings

A new system for collecting probation workload data was introduced from 1 January 2002, the quarterly probation listings. As a consequence, information on caseload is now provided directly by probation areas, as opposed to the previous method of it being calculated based on the number of people starting supervision and the number of terminations.  Given that many areas had difficulty in sending through details of terminations, the unadjusted caseload figures shown in earlier publications for the years prior to 2002 were inflated.  This method also had the effect of further inflating the caseload year on year, as the shortfall in termination details each year had a cumulative effect. The figures shown from 2002 onwards are the most reliable to date.  Data was collected under both the old and new system for the first quarter of 2002; a comparison of these data for commencements, caseload and terminations is given in the table below.  All CPOs that have run for more than 2 years and all voluntary supervision that has run for more than 3 years have been excluded from the figures, on the basis that realistically they should have already terminated. This indicates that the old and new data collection methods yield similar figures for commencements of court orders. Caseload is significantly reduced under the new method both for court orders and pre and post-release supervision.  The system underwent further development in 2005, to cater for the Criminal Justice Act 2003 sentences and to allow for the transition to a monthly collection of data.

## Counting Procedures

People starting supervision - The statistics count each person once in each year for each type of supervision started in the year (e.g. once under Community Order, even if that person received more than one Community Order in a given year).  But each person is counted only once in each total or sub-total even if they started several types of supervision in the year (e.g. once under 'all court orders' in table 3.1, though they may be recorded as starting, for instance, a Community Order and an SSO).  Thus the sum of the number of persons starting each type of community sentence exceeds the number of those starting community sentences in total (table 3.1). 

People supervised (caseload) - The statistics count each person once for each type of supervision being received on 31 December.  But each person is counted only once in each total or sub-total even if they were subject to several types of supervision at the year end (the examples above apply equally to Table 4.1).  Thus, the sum of the numbers receiving each type of court order supervision exceeds the number receiving court order supervision in total (table 4.1).  
Terminations - The statistics count all terminations of all types of supervision in each year, including multiple terminations of the same type of supervision (e.g. two periods of Community Order supervision terminating in the same year would be included in the tables). It is not yet possible to compare percentages over time because more time has now elapsed since Community Orders and Suspended Sentence Orders were introduced in April 2005, allowing a higher percentage to run their full course. Comparisons will be possible however between 2008 and later years. 

## Prison Flows And Population - F1032S And Inmate Information System (Iis)

Prison establishments routinely provide 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 mid-year population presented in this report. These aggregate tables are called the F1032s. Establishments also record electronically 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 (including those recalled to custody), sentence length.  These data are collected on a central computer database, called the Inmate Information System (IIS), and are used to produce the various analyses of receptions, discharges and time served in custody.  They also form the basis of detailed population breakdowns, supplementing the aggregates derived from establishments' monthly population F1032 returns to which they are scaled for consistency. A new more detailed method of scaling was developed in 2004. 

Efforts are made to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data, as far as is practicable.  Establishments are not, however, always in receipt of the necessary details, notably regarding offences. Where the offence data are incomplete we use the category ''offence not recorded''.  

## Counting Procedures

Receptions - There are four main categories of receptions - untried (i.e. awaiting commencement or continuation of trial prior to verdict), convicted unsentenced (i.e. awaiting sentence), sentenced and non-criminal.  In the tables on remand receptions, a person is generally counted separately once if received as untried and once if received as convicted unsentenced for each fresh set of charges. A person first enters the remand population when remanded in custody on or after his or her first appearance in court on a charge or summons.  If subsequently received under sentence, he or she is counted in that category also.  An individual may thus appear in the tables more than once in different categories or on separate occasions in one year.  However, tables 1.1 and 7.1 also show the remand figures with those received as untried and subsequently as convicted unsentenced in a particular year counted only once. When a person is received under sentence and at the same time is dealt with for a non-criminal matter, or is already in custody under sentence for a criminal offence and is given a further criminal sentence or is dealt with for a non-criminal matter, only the initial reception for the criminal sentence is counted.  Recalls to custody after release on licence or parole are excluded from the sentenced reception figures, but those whose original sentence had been re-activated because of a new offence committed during the 'at risk' period are included.  Persons transferred in from other countries, special hospitals or other non-Prison Service establishments are included in the appropriate category of reception. 

Offences - When a person is received under sentence for several offences, or if a person is received under sentence and at the same time is committed for a noncriminal matter, only the principal criminal offence is recorded in the tables.  The basis of selection of the principal criminal offence is as follows: (i) where a person is received under sentence for two or more criminal offences, the offence selected is the one for which the heaviest sentence is imposed; (ii) where the same sentences are imposed for two or more criminal offences the offence selected is the one for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. 

Length of sentence - When a person is received under sentence for two or more sentences which have been passed at the same time and ordered to run consecutively they are treated as one sentence equal in length to the sentences added together.  In the case of concurrent sentences, the longest sentence is recorded.  When a person is received to serve a period of imprisonment composed of a sentence for a criminal offence and a consecutive period of imprisonment in connection with a non-criminal matter, the total period of imprisonment is recorded against the criminal offence.                       
Age group - In the statistics of receptions, adults are those aged 21 and over at the date of sentence, young adults are those aged 18 to 20.  In population tables, adults include those aged 21 and over at the date of sentence and those sentenced to detention in a young offender institution that have had their sentence converted to imprisonment.  The term young offender refers to those given a custodial sentence when aged under 21 who have not subsequently been reclassified as adults, it therefore encompasses inmates under 21 and those who have reached 21 but have not yet been reclassified. (Young adults are prisoners aged 18 to 20, but also includes those aged 21 who were aged 20 or under at conviction who have not been reclassified as part of the adult population.) 
Nationality - The nationality data are obtained from self reports of prisoners: this information is not checked by prison establishments before being entered on the Inmate Information System. 

Discharges - Data quality work carried out over the course of the year revealed under-reporting of some discharge types.  This has now been corrected and tables 
9.1 and 9.2 have been revised back to 2003. 

## Additional Sources Of Information:

 Summary statistics in Chapter 1 on the population in SCHs and STCs are 
from data held by the Youth Justice Board and the Department for Children, 
Schools and Families (formerly Department for Education and Skills - DfES). 
 Custody rates and average sentence lengths in Chapter 1 are calculated from 
figures sent to the Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings database by the courts. 
 Figures for the previous criminal history of offenders (Chapters 4 and 7) have 
been compiled using the Ministry of Justice's extract from the Police National 
Computer (PNC). The process involves matching offender details from the 
prison and probation services to the personal details recorded on the PNC and then examining the previous history as recorded by the police. A proportion of cases could not be matched and the figures presented are expressed as a percentage of the offenders that were matched. Like any large scale recording system the PNC is subject to errors with data entry and recording. The PNC is regularly updated so that further analysis at a later date 
will generate revised figures.  
 Summary statistics in Chapter 7 on international comparisons of prison data 
used the World Prison Population List as the main resource, with supplementary information provided by additional data collection by the author 
- see Chapter 7 for more details 
 Information on recalls of non-parole cases in table 9.9 was supplied by Post 
Release Section, Public Protection Unit. 
 Life licence recalls information for table 9.10 was obtained from the Public 
Protection Casework Section of NOMS and is cross checked with the Post 
Release Section.  Data were taken from the recall schedule which is updated 
on a monthly basis. Life licensees are recalled to prison by Post Release 
Section on the basis of a risk assessment from the Probation Area concerned. This assessment and the Secretary of State's reasons for recall given to the prisoner are used to record information on the recall schedule. 
 Data on absconds, escapes and temporary release failures in table 9.11 was 
supplied by NOMS Performance Management Group. Escort contractor 
escapes data was supplied by NOMS National Operations Group: under their 
contracts the escort providers are required to report all escapes by telephone 
followed by a written report within 24 hours.

## Appendix C - Key Legislative And Policy Changes

Legislative and policy changes have contributed to more stringent outcomes, making sentence lengths longer for certain offences and increasing the likelihood of a breach of non-custodial sentence or licence conditions resulting in prison.  Others have been expected to reduce the prison population. The following list highlights the main changes introduced since 1999 and how they impacted the number of prison receptions and/or length of stay; the list is not exhaustive. 

## 1999: Crime And Disorder Act (1998)

 Medium term prisoners now eligible for executive recall (impact on receptions) 

## 2005: Criminal Justice Act (2003)

 Licence period lengthened, increasing likelihood of recalls (impact on 
receptions) 
 Suspended sentences were made much more available, increasing breach 
population (impact on receptions) 
 Breach sentences must now be more onerous than that breached (impact on 
receptions) 
 Introduced release at the halfway point for offenders serving determinate 
sentences of 4 years or more (impact on length of stay) 
 Minimum mandatory 5-year sentence for possession of illegal firearms 
offences (impact on length of stay) 
 Introduction of indeterminate and extended sentences for public protection 
(IPP and EPP), which have since been popular with sentencers (impact on length of stay) 
 Parole Board must now review all recall cases; the re-release rate of recalled 
offenders has been low (impact on length of stay) 

## 2007: Simple, Speedy, Summary Justice

 Reductions in pre-trial reviews and increased use of PNDs, frees up court
