Population in custody August 2010 - Key points  
Resumption of publication and use of new data source 
Publication of the monthly population in custody bulletin was suspended from August 2009 
to March 2010 inclusive due to technical problems relating to the supply of data for 
statistical purposes. Publication of the bulletin resumed in April 2010 as announced on the 
MoJ website http://www.justice.gov.uk/publications/populationincustody.htm   
As a result of these technical problems, detailed figures for August 2009 to February 2010 
are not available, so in this and subsequent bulletins which include these months it is not 
possible to make comparisons to a year ago other than for headline totals.  
Since resuming publication, figures in this bulletin are based on a new data source, 
consistent with the published weekly prison figures.  
From October 2010, statistics describing the population in custody in England and Wales 
will be published in a new quarterly publication, Offender Management Statistics Quarterly 
Bulletin, alongside data on prison receptions, discharges, licence recalls and probation. 
Figures showing the population in custody by type of custody, age and gender will be 
presented for the most recent 5 quarters and by month within the most recent quarter. 
Nationality will continue to be included quarterly. 
Population in custody (prisons, secure training centres and secure children’s homes) 
  The population in custody on 31 August 2010 was 85,600, a rise of 1 per cent from a 
year earlier. The population in prisons was 85,200 (a rise of 990 from a year earlier), in 
Secure Training Centres (STCs) it was 270 and in Secure Children’s Homes (SCHs) it 
was 170. 
Population in prison 
  The male prison population increased by 1 per cent (up 990) to 80,900 and the female 
prison population was virtually unchanged at 4,300 in August 2010 compared to August 
2009. 
  The adult population in prison was 73,400 at 31 August 2010, an increase of 1 per cent 
(up 1,000) from a year earlier. Over the same time period the number of 15 to 17 year 
olds fell 20 per cent (down 410) to 1,670 and the young adult prison population (see 
definitions) increased 4 per cent (up 400) to 10,100 at 31 August 2010.  
  The remand population in prison fell 2 per cent from 13,300 in August 2009 to 13,000 in 
August 2010 (down 320). Within this total, the untried population rose slightly to 8,800 
(up 30) and the convicted unsentenced population fell 8 per cent (down 350), to 4,200.  
  There were 71,200 sentenced(1) prisoners at 31 August 2010, an increase of 3 per cent 
from a year earlier (up 1,900). There are now 7,700 prisoners serving sentences of less 
than 12 months, 44,600 prisoners serving sentences of 12 months or more (excluding

indeterminates) and 13,200 prisoners serving indeterminate sentences (life sentences 
and indeterminate sentences for public protection - IPPs).   
  There were 5,600 recall prisoners at 31 August 2010. 
  Amongst both the remand and sentenced populations by far the largest offence group in 
August 2010 was violence against the person representing 25 per cent and 28 per cent 
of the totals (of 13,000 and 71,100) respectively. 
  The prison population was 109 per cent of the ‘In Use CNA’ (77,900) at 31 August 2010. 
(1) Includes recalls and fine defaulters (see Table 1)

Population in custody monthly tables, August 2010, England and Wales 
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 data 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. 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 
1,500 cases in the August 2010 dataset. 
There have been two changes to the presentation of the data since the resumption of this 
publication in April 2010: 
  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 Secure Training Centres (STCs) and Secure Children’s 
Homes (SCHs) has been supplied by the Youth Justice Board. 
All figures are provisional pending publication of the 2010 Offender Management Caseload 
Statistics.
