Operational capacity for establishments is the total number of prisoners that an establishment can hold taking into account control, security and the proper operation of the planned regime.
The capacity provided is for all prisoners held at these establishments including non-life sentenced prisoners.
Jenny Willott:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many and what proportion of the prison population were serving a life sentence in each year
16 Jan 2008 : Column 1332W
since 2000, in each secure accommodation site; and if he will make a statement. [179097]
Mr. Hanson:
The numbers and proportions of life sentenced prisoners held in each prison establishment in England and Wales as at 30 June in each year from 2000-07 are in the following table.
These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
| Lifer population as at 30 June, by establishment and year |
| | June 2002 | June 2003 | June 2004 |
| | Number of lifers | Percentage of total population | Number of lifers | Percentage of total population | Number of lifers | Percentage of total population |
