Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service is containing the spread of COVID-19 within prisons using an approach known as \u2018compartmentalisation\u2019. Through this approach, staff have isolated those with symptoms, and many prisons have been able to shield the vulnerable and quarantine new arrivals.<\/p>
The table below details the number of self-reported confirmed cases of COVID-19 amongst the prison population broken down by region. The data in this table is correct as of Thursday 7 May.<\/p>
However, it should be noted that this is recently collected management information and as yet subject to verification; figures may change at a later date in future statistical publications.<\/p>

This could not have been assumed from the data provided in response to that enquiry which covered the general definition of transgender, which includes not just those who were born male, but also, for example, those born as female who now identify as men, non-binary and intersex people.<\/p> Details of transgender prisoners were provided by public and private prisons in England and Wales, between 26 March 2019 and 24 April 2019 following an exercise to gather information from transgender individuals in custody. The figures give an estimate of the number of transgender prisoners based on that exercise and may underestimate the true number. Prisoners who have a full Gender Recognition Certificate are excluded from this dataset. Details of individuals who were identified within that dataset as having been born, and who remain, legally male but self-identified as female have been matched to the Incident Reporting System to provide the details of assaults in this response.<\/p>"}
