The number of prisoners transferred each year is published in table 3_A_28 available at Offender management statistics quarterly: October to December 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The data for which Category prisons that prisoners have been transferred to can be found in the attached table. Prisoners cannot be transferred into a prison with a lower security category than their individual classification. Moves from higher to lower security classification prisons relate to prisoners who are progressing through the prison system as their assessed risk decreases.
