Population in custody April 2010 - Key points  
Resumption of Publication/Use of new data source/new subcategories of data  
 Publication of the monthly population in custody bulletin was suspended from August 
2009 to March 2010  due to technical problems relating to the supply of data for 
statistical purposes. Publication of the bulletin was resumed in April 2010 as announced 
on the MoJ website www.justice.gov.uk/publications/populationincustody.htm   
 Figures in the resumed bulletin are based on a new data source, consistent with the 
published weekly prison figures. In order to provide a consistent comparison with the 
previous year, data for 2009 has also been taken from the new data source, which 
means that these figures will not match the monthly 2009 data published previously. The 
total prison population given for April 2009 is 40 higher than the figure previously 
published.  
Population in custody (prisons, secure training centres and secure children’s homes) 
 The population in custody on 30 April 2010 was 85,500, a rise of 2,200 from a year 
earlier. The population in prisons was 85,100 (a rise of 2,300 from a year earlier), in 
Secure Training Centres (STCs) it was 250 and in Secure Children’s Homes (SCHs) it 
was 160. 
Population in prison 
 The male prison population increased by 3 per cent (up 2,200) to 80,800 and the female 
prison population increased slightly by 1 per cent (up 30) to 4,300 in April 2010 
compared to April 2009.  
 It was expected that the withdrawal of the end of custody early release scheme would 
add between 1,000 and 1,200 to the daily prison population by the end of April 2010. 
 
 The remand population in prison fell 1 per cent from 13,000 in April 2009 to 12,800 in 
April 2010 (down 140). Within this total, the untried population fell 6 per cent (down 500) 
to 8,000 and the convicted unsentenced population rose 8 per cent (up 360), to 4,800. 
 
 There were 71,100 sentenced(1) prisoners at 30 April 2010, an increase of 4 per cent 
from a year earlier (up 2,800).  There were increases in those serving sentences of all 
sentence lengths except 6 months to less than 12 months. The number of prisoners 
serving a sentence of less than 6 months rose 12 per cent between April 2009 and April 
2010 (up 490) and those serving sentences of 4 years or more increased by 6 per cent 
(up 1,300). However, for those serving a sentence of 6 months to less than 12 months 
there was a fall (down 120, 4 per cent).  The number of prisoners serving indeterminate 
sentences (Life sentences and indeterminate sentences for public protection - IPPs) 
increased by 7 per cent (up 900).   
  
 There were 5,400 recall prisoners at 30 April 2010, down 360 from a year earlier.

 In terms of offence groups, amongst the remand population the largest proportionate 
increases since April 2009 were for theft and handling (up 70, 8 per cent), sexual 
offences (up 80, 8 per cent) and other offences (up 130, 7 per cent).  The largest 
proportionate falls since April 2009 were seen in those serving sentences for motoring 
offences (down 20, 24 per cent) and fraud and forgery (down 70, 14 per cent).  
 
 Amongst the sentenced(1) prison population the largest proportionate increases were for 
other offences (up 1,200, 19 per cent), theft and handling (up 570, 18 per cent) and 
sexual offences (up 1,200, 15 per cent) from April 2009. The largest proportionate 
decreases since April 2009 were for those serving sentences for fraud and forgery (down 
370, 19 per cent) and motoring offences (down 160, 15 per cent).  
 
 The adult population in prison was 73,400 at 30 April 2010, an increase of 3 per cent (up 
2,000) from a year earlier. Over the same time period the number of 15 to 17 year olds 
fell 21 per cent (down 450) to 1,700 and the young adult prison population (see 
definitions) increased 7 per cent (up 660) to 10,000 at 30 April 2010. 
 
 The prison population was 110 per cent of the ‘In Use CNA’ (77,200) at 30 April 2010.

NOTES  
Data sources and quality 
The data presented in this brief are drawn from the prison administrative IT systems.  
Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is 
subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system.  While the figures 
shown have been checked as far as practicable, they should be regarded as approximate 
and not necessarily accurate to the last whole number shown in the tables.  They are fit to 
be used for purposes of looking at trends and for comparing the relative magnitude of 
components. 
  
The prison population information is now drawn from a single prison source.  Although 
different from the source used up to June 2009, it  contains the same details for individual 
inmates such as date of birth, sex, religion, ethnic origin, custody type, offence, reception 
and discharge dates and, for sentenced prisoners, sentence length. These data are 
collected on a central database and are used to produce all the analyses in this publication. 
The overall reliability of the sentence length data has increased, but in a small number of 
cases sentence length data is missing and has been imputed. Sentence lengths have been 
imputed for around 1,300 cases in the April 2010 dataset. 
 
As a different data source is now being used for this publication comparisons with data a 
year ago will not match with data previously published for April 2009.  
 
There are also two changes to the presentation of the data: 
 The numbers in each sentence length band now exclude recalls which are shown as 
a separate subgroup within the total sentenced population (previously recalls were 
included in the relevant sentence length bands).  
 The sentenced population groups “less than or equal to 6 months” and “greater than 
6 months to less than 12 months” have been slightly revised to “less than 6 months” 
and “6 months to less than 12 months” respectively as a result of using the new data 
source. 
Unless otherwise stated, numbers in the text have been rounded for ease of reading using 
the following rules: 
  
Numbers of 100,000 and over are rounded to the nearest 1,000 
Numbers from 1,000 – 99,999 are rounded to the nearest 100 
Numbers from 10 – 999 are rounded to the nearest 10 
Numbers under 10 are unrounded. 
  
Information on the population in STCs and SCHs has been supplied by the Youth Justice 
Board. 
  
All figures are provisional pending publication of the annual Offender Management 
Caseload Statistics.
