| Annotation | This 'Bromley briefings' is one in a series with this title that has been produced at least twice a year since November 2006 in memory of Keith Bromley, a friend of the Prison Reform Trust (PRT). It presents recent facts and figures from government and other official sources on prisons and prisoners in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It includes information on older prisoners (aged 50+). Figures from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) for October-December 2016 On 31 March 2011 show that there were 13,257 prisoners aged over 50 in England and Wales (one in six, 16%), including 1,561 aged over 70. Of these, 226 were aged 80+, and nearly all were sentenced when over the age of 70. Another trend being observed is a small but increasing number of people dying of natural causes in prison: 164 people aged 50+ in 2016, this number more than double for ten years ago. A more detailed version of this Bromley briefings (60 pp) and comments on concerns relating to older prisoners is also available. (RH). |
