As this month’s TJ went to press, 75,966 men and 4,396 women were languishing in Britain’s prisons. Another 400 people were being held in prison cells around the country and 2,324 were under home detention and curfew supervision.

That’s according to the weekly population and accommodation figures released by the National Offender Management Service. Compare that with the figures for the Friday 12 months previously, when the UK had 73,181 male and 4,461 female prisoners, no-one being held in police cells and 2,754 offenders under home detention and curfew supervision – 3,120 fewer offenders than today.
