<p>In October 2018, the Department published Experimental Statistics release estimating
the numbers of ex-service personnel in the prison population (next release due October
2019). This new analysis indicated that there were 2,032 prisoners as at 30 June 2018
who had declared as ‘ex-service personnel’ when they were first received into custody
between January 2015 and June 2018. Of these, the number serving a prison sentence
in all prisons in Wales as at 30 June 2018 were:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>HMP
Cardiff</p></td><td><p>12</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMP Parc</p></td><td><p>56</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMP
Prescoed</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMP Swansea</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMP
Usk</p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMP Berwyn</p></td><td><p>24</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Prisoners who choose to identify as veterans are given access to specialist
support, this includes support for issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
that may affect them following their service. Additional support can be offered by
military service charities working with prisons and rehabilitation services.</p>
