<p>The Prison NOMIS system records 3,087 currently serving prisoners who are care
leavers, 2,790 of these are men, 296 are women, and one did not specify a gender.
This alert field is not mandatory, and has only been available since 2014, so we cannot
be certain it captures all those in custody who have been in care.</p><p> </p><p>Total
weekly prison population figures can be found at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-population-figures-2019"

</p><p>We cannot at this time calculate which of these prisoners were sentenced to
less than six months’ imprisonment because of the way the prison case management system
(NOMIS) takes account of recall.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>.</p>
