Admits

Admissions with an initial status of ‘remand’ accounted for approximately 73% of all admissions, which is consistent with historical patterns.

Admissions by Gender and Status – 2015/16 -  Please note that initial admission reason captures only the legal document that an inmate is admitted to custody on. It does not capture change in status (e.g. if an inmate is admitted on a remand warrant and the status changes to sentenced, the inmate is counted only in the remand total).
