Of the prison population serving sentences in prisons in England on 31 December 2017, who were resident in Wales at the time of their sentence, there were:

6 females aged 18-20

12 males aged 15-17

48 males ages 18-20

Around 97% of prisoners have an origin location - i.e. addresses that are recorded in our central IT system. If no address is given, an offender’s committal court address is used as a proxy for the area in which they are resident. Those with no recorded origin are typically foreign nationals or those recently received into custody. No address has been recorded and no court information is available for around 3% of all offenders. If there are any, these figures will have been excluded from the data.

The numerical information provided has been drawn from administrative IT systems, which as with any large scale recording system are subject to possible error with data entry and processing.
