<p>Prison capacity and population movements are managed nationally across England
and Wales. There are over 5,500 prison places in Wales including a 2,000 place prison,
HMP Berwyn, which opened in 2017. Geographically HMP Berwyn is near to the Northwest
of England and holds a significant number of prisoners sentenced by courts in that
region as well as prisoners originating in Wales.</p><p> </p><p>UK nationals have
a nationality of British. While holding an individual close to their home is an important
consideration in the placement of prisoners, HMPPS does not identify or record prisoners
as English or Welsh. Someone with an address in England may consider themselves to
be Welsh, while someone with an address in Wales may not.</p>
