</p><p>(1) Deaths in prison custody figures include all deaths of prisoners arising
from incidents during prison custody. They include deaths of prisoners while released
on temporary license (ROTL) for medical reasons but exclude other types of ROTL where
the state has less direct responsibility. In recent years, approximately one half
of natural cause deaths in prison custody actually occur in hospitals or hospices.</p><p>
</p><p>Data Sources and Quality</p><p>These figures are derived from the HMPPS Deaths
in Prison Custody database. As classification of deaths may change following inquest
or as new information emerges numbers may change from time to time.</p>
