<p>The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) publishes monthly individual prison population and
capacity information through the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-population-statistics"

</p><p>The table below identifies the in-use certified normal accommodation (CNA)
on the 30 June in each year since 2010 and how many of these places were provided
in public and private prisons.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>CNA

</p><p> </p><p>CNA, or uncrowded capacity, is the Prison Service’s own measure of
accommodation. CNA represents the good, decent standard of accommodation that the
Service aspires to provide all prisoners. Where the operational capacity of a prison
is higher than the CNA, prisoners may be held in ‘crowded’ conditions, with more prisoners
accommodated in individual cells than they were designed for. In the financial year
2018/19, 22.5% of the prison population was being held in crowded conditions, down
from 24.2% in the previous year.</p><p> </p>
