Offender management caseload statistics

RDS NOMS statistics on offender management cover:

  • the main characteristics of the prison population (age, sex, offence, custody type, nationality, ethnic group, religion, sentence length);
  • receptions into prison;
  • releases from prison (release on temporary licence, Home Detention Curfew and parole);
  • offences against prison discipline and punishments in prison;
  • the main characteristics of offenders under probation service supervision (age, sex, offence, sentence type, sentence length, additional requirements of sentence);
  • commencements and terminations of community sentences;
  • pre- and post-release supervision; and
  • recalls to prison and breaches of community sentences.

RDS NOMS publishes a range of regular statistics on the population in custody and under probation service supervision.

Monthly tables on the population in custody give summary figures on the population in prison establishments, local authority secure children’s homes (LASCHs) and Secure Training Centres (STCs). More detailed information on the make-up of the prison population by custody type, offence group, sentence length, age group and establishment is also presented.

The annual statistical bulletin covers prison population and probation service supervision.
