or stations).</em></li><li><em>Unknown: The accommodation status is unknown (either
because the status is awaiting assessment, or no status is recorded, or there are
multiple statuses, or due to other errors in the record, or there was no match between

address in Wales based on the first of their most recent stated Home Address, Reception
Address, Discharge Address, Court Address, or Next of Kin Address. Less than 1% of
releases did not have any address information recorded, and have been excluded from
this analysis.</em></li></ul>
