Details
The HMPPS Annual Digest is a supplement to HMPPS Annual Report and Accounts 2020/21.
The HMPPS Annual Digest statistics cover performance data on prisoner escapes, absconds, temporary release failures and releases in error; Prison population and crowding; foreign and national offender referrals; prisoners working in custody; Prisoner earnings; accredited programmes; random mandatory drug testing; Protesting behaviour; Finds in prison; incentives and earned privileges; mother and baby units, pregnant prisoners and births; electronic monitoring; bail accommodation support services; Staff in post; Staff sickness absence.
This year’s report contains some new statistics on pregnant prisoners and births to women in prison.
Revision 22/12/2022
Errors were identified in the HMPPS Annual Digest but these have been assessed as low risk since they do not impact the interpretation of data or the trends presented in the statistics. The first line of the first main point on page 8 has been removed as it was a duplicate of the second line but incorrectly quoted the number of escapes which remained at large 30 days after escape. This section now only contains the correct statistics. The final page of chapter 1 was published in error, and this page has now been removed. Finally, due to an error in data processing, the figures, commentary and graphs throughout the chapter 2 on crowding have been updated. The differences were small and the change does not affect the context nor interpretation of the figures.
