Statistics Introduction
Statistical information is available in our Annual Reports.
The Irish Prison Service records statistics under two basic headings, i.e., daily snapshots and yearly totals.
To allow for easier comparison, we have grouped our statistics by topic rather than by year. We have sought to provide the most frequently requested data on our website - if you cannot find what you need or require further information, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
