Since January 2015, Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service has actively been recording service in the Armed Forces as part of the screening process for newly received prisoners into custody.<\/p>
<\/p>
Recently published Experimental Statistics (October 2018) have indicated that as of 30 June 2018, there were 1,782 prisoners who had declared themselves as \u2018ex-service personnel\u2019 serving a sentence in prisons across England and Wales representing 3% of the total prison population for whom we have data on this matter. The attached table shows a breakdown per establishment. The information requested for Northern Ireland<\/em> and Scotland is not covered by this department.<\/p> <\/p> The department is due to release the next estimate in October 2019.<\/p> <\/p> The Ministry of Justice remains committed to encouraging individuals to declare service in the Armed Forces, as early as possible or at any point whist serving their sentence. This enables them to access the support available whether in custody or the community.<\/p>"}
