Details

Safety in custody statistics cover deaths, self-harm and assaults in prison custody in England and Wales. This publication updates statistics on deaths to the end of September 2024 and assaults and self-harm up to June 2024.

The annual publication for assaults and self-harm in custody are published in the Safety in Custody up to December publication, published in April. Annual tables provide further breakdowns and at a more granular level. Quarterly provisional updates are then published every July, October and January. Deaths data are published three months ahead of self-harm and assaults, therefore, the annual deaths tables are published in the Safety in Custody up to September publication, published every January. Quarterly provisional updates to deaths in custody are published every April, July and October.

The bulletin is released by the Ministry of Justice and produced in accordance with arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.
