Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell

Mr. McDowell: There were 3,215 persons in prison custody on 15 February 2005. A further 178 persons were on temporary release of one day or more. The daily average number of persons on temporary release for the first six weeks of 2005, which has been calculated from figures taken each morning at unlock, was slightly less than 169 persons each day. That average number may of course fluctuate during the course of the year.
