Survey Background

0.1 General overview

TheSPACEI2012annualreportispartoftheSPACEproject2.Thisprojectproducesannualoverviewonmainindicatorsofcustodialandnon‐custodialactivitiesinallMemberStatesoftheCouncilofEurope.

The firstpartof theproject(SPACEI)providesdataonthepopulationsheld incustodyand/or inothertypes of penal institutions across Europe.Moreover, this report contains useful information about theconditions of detention (e.g. capacity, expenses, staff), as well as about the custodial movement (e.g.entries,releases,deaths,escapes).

Thesecondpartof theproject (SPACEII), concentratesonpersonsservingnon‐custodial sanctionsandmeasures. A separate report3is produced on these categories of penal populations supervised incommunity.

Both reports have the common goal of ensuring as much as possible the collection, analyses andinterpretationofreliabledatathroughacommonmethodology.Inparticular,thequestionnairesusedforthe collection of the data were designed to allow the maximum comparability between Prison andProbationagencies,aswellasamongMemberStatesoftheCouncilofEurope(CoE).

For writing this report, national raw data and comments were collected by means of the standardquestionnaire,whichwasansweredbycorrespondentsineachCoEMemberState.Generally,thenationalcorrespondentsinchargeofcollecting,explainingandvalidatingtherawdataarerepresentativesofthePrisonAdministrations.

Aseveryyear since2004, theSPACE I2012questionnairehasbeen improvedon thebasisofpreviousexperiencesandaccordingtotheassessmentsandCoErecommendations;butensuringasfaraspossiblethecomparisonwiththehistoricalSPACEIseries,startedin1983.

Themodificationsmadesince2004allowabettervisibilityofthecategoriesincludedbyeachcountryintheirstatistics.Thisimpliescollectingmetadataonthenationalrulesappliedforcollectingdataforprisonstatistics. The answers to these questions –presentedmainly in Table1.1– suggest that cross‐nationalcomparisonsofprisonpopulationsmustbeconductedcautiouslyas thecategories included in the totalnumberof inmatesvary fromcountry tocountry.Thesame is true forcomparisonsofprisonmortalityand,morespecifically,ofsuicidesoccurredinpenalinstitutions.

Since the conceptualisation of the categories in national statistics is crucial for cross‐nationalcomparisons, thisSPACEI2012 survey initiates the collectionof additional information throughAnnualModules.Thesemodulescorrespondtotopicalissuesapprovedtobeansweredbyamajorityofnationalcorrespondents. This year, the Annual Module examines the topic of staff employed by PrisonAdministration. Given the reforms initiated mostly in Eastern and Central European countries, thequestions on the uniformed and non‐uniformed categories of staff are important to be answered in acomparativeperspective.

Asidefromthedatapresentedinthisreport,itispossibletoaccessontheWebsiteoftheSPACEprojectsomeotheruseful informationoncustodialactivitiesacrossEurope(e.g. recidivismstudies,useful linksandaddresses).Moreover,therearepresentedthemostrecentdataonthenumberofinmates,theprisondensityandtheprisonpopulationratesavailableon1stJanuary2013.

ConcerningthedeadlinesoftheSPACEI2012survey,itshouldbestatedthatthedatacollectionstartedmid‐August 2013, when all CoEMember States received the questionnaire. The deadline for the data‐collectionwasseton1stOctober2013.Atthisdate,onlyonehalfofallconcernedcountriesansweredthequestionnaire. The data collection lasted until 15th March 2014. In the meantime, almost 2/3 ofrespondingcountrieswerecontactedwithdiverserequestsrelatedtothedata‐validation.

0.3 Main modifications made in the latest SPACE I surveys (2008-12)

 

Sincethe2008survey,thequestionnaireistranslatedintoRussianlanguage.Theaimofthetranslationisto facilitate the data collection in certain countries and to allow the inclusion of comments on theparticularities of the national data. This version, used relatively sporadically, increased the number ofresponsesreceivedfromMemberStatesandimprovedthereliabilityoftheprovidedinformation.

Prison population

•New item on private facilities was added in the SPACE I 2011 questionnaire.•An item has been added in order to measure the number of persons under security measures and those servingpreventive detention for dangerous offenders (SPACE I 2011).•Regarding the legal status of prisoners, two additional subcategories have been included: persons detainedbecause of the revocation, suspension or annulment of the conditional release or probation and persons detainedas a consequence of the conversion of a fine (fine defaulters). This item was firts used in the SPACE I 2009.•The following categories of offences have been added in the SPACE I 2009 questionnaire: economic andfinancial offences, terrorism and organised crime.•Under the category of juvenile offenders held in special institutions, an additional item (introduced in theSPACE I 2009) allows getting information on the number of the persons aged 18 and over.• Until SPACE I 2009, only general questions on foreign inmates were asked. In the SPACE I 2010, an item onforeign prisoners who are citizens of Member States of the European Union has been added.•Since the SPACE I 2010, the questionnaire allows a distinction between male and female deaths.

Conditions & Metadata

•Since the SPACE I 2010 and revised in 2011, a new breakdown by categories was designed for the capacity ofpenal institutions. More reliable information has been collected on institutions for pre‐trial detention, places forpersons serving custodial sentences and for juvenile offenders, and places in other types of institutions for thedetention of inmates.•In former SPACE questionnaires ‐before the SPACE I 2008‐ there was a slight difference between the Frenchand the English definitions of assault and battery. While the English version referred to assault, the Frenchversion referred to assault and battery (coups et blessures volontaires). This problem has been solved and bothversions refer now to assault and battery.•Former SPACE questionnaires ‐before the SPACE I 2008‐ referred to rape, but an analysis of the answersreceived suggested that some countries were including other sexual offences under that heading. As aconsequence, sexual offences have been divided in two categories: rape and other types of sexual offences.•In order to avoid as far as possible the misinterpretation of the figures, special attention has been given to thecodes used to answer the questions when no data were available (i.e. NA, NAP).

Custodial events

•Since the SPACE I 2011 and 2012, the former item on the number of deaths was slightly improved: specificcategories on the causes of death have been used (homicides, accidents, drug/alcohol intoxications, suicides,other causes).•In the questionnaires SPACE I 2010, 2011 and 2012, some clarifications were introduced in the definitions ofother items, such as the counting units used in each country and the date of reference for the information.•Since the SPACE I 2008, the category of entries to penal institutions has been completed with several follow upquestions in order to distinguish transfers from the rest of the entries. In the SPACE I 2010, this item was fullyrevised and allows taking into account international tranfers.•In the SPACE I 2010, an item with 5 sub‐categories has been designed in order to collect information onreleases from penal institutions (including conditional releases and external placements).

Prison policies

•The item foreseen for the information on the changes in national prison policies and on the events that mayhave had an influence on the number of inmates was divided in several categories and allows a more reliablecomparison among countries (since the SPACE I 2008 questionnaire).•Since the SPACE I 2010, special attention was given to the issue of the age of criminal responsibility and theminimal age for the application of custodial sanctions and measures.

Explanatory notes to the Report PartAoftheSurveyincludesglobalindicatorsoftheprisonpopulationson1stSeptember2012(SectionA.1)aswellasdataontheflowofentries,flowofreleases,lengthofimprisonment,escapesanddeathsforthe whole year 2011 (SectionA.2). In order to ensure as much as possible the comparability acrosscountries,somefiguresareincludedonlyintherawdatatables.Therefore,figuresthatdidnotseemtofitthedefinitionsusedinthequestionnairewerenotintegratedinthetableswithcalculationsofratesandpercentages.

A. Global Indicators of Prison Populations on 1st September 2012

Thesituationofprisonpopulationsonagivendateoftheyear(stockstatistics)issetinTables1to11.Thenumberofinmatesvariesovertimeundertheinfluenceofthenumberofentriesintoandreleasesfrompenalinstitutionsandthelengthofthestaysintheseinstitutions.

Table1:Situationofpenalinstitutionson1stSeptember2012

(1) Total number of inmates (including pre‐trial detainees). This indicator is commonly known asprison stock. Usually, in the total number of inmates are included the standard categories ofinmates, suchaspersonsheld insideapenal institutionsatagivendateand,more specifically,pre‐trial detainees and sentenced prisoners. Sometimes countries include as well juvenileoffenders.Nevertheless,itbecomescommontoobserveinsideprisonstockthefollowing:personsunderpenal(therapeutic)measures,personsheldinprivatefacilities,orthoseheldinopenpenalinstitutions.Moreover,inprisonstockmayalsobeincludedinmatesdetainedforadministrativereasons,undersecuritymeasure,recalledfromprobation,fine‐defaulters,etc.

(2) Prison population rate4per 100,000 inhabitants corresponds to the ratio of the number ofinmates (including pre‐trial detainees) per 100,000 population of each country, as of 1stSeptember2012.Takingintoaccountthattheinformationonthepopulationsofthecountriesisavailableon1stJanuaryofeachyear,thefiguresonthepopulationsusedforthecalculationsarerespectivelyon1stJanuary2012insteadof1stSeptember2012.

(3) Capacity of penal institutions: number of places available in penal institutions for theaccommodationof the inmates (excludingall spaces thatprimaryaredesigned forotherneedsthantheproperaccommodationoftheinmates).

(4) Surface area per inmate (calculated in squaremeters). This indicator corresponds to the legalstandard in each Member State. According to legal provisions, each inmate should dispose ofindividual area inside the cell, excluding commonplaces suchas shower enclosures,WC, sportareas,classroomsandothercommonspacesinsideapenalinstitution.

(5) Prison density per 100 places of the regular capacity. This indicator corresponds to the ratiobetweenthenumberofinmates(includingpre‐trialdetainees)andthenumberofplacesavailablein penal institutions. Generally, the indicator of prison density is used for assessment ofovercrowding.

                                                            

4Thisindicatorissometimesreferredtoas“detentionrate”,or“prisonerrate”,or“imprisonmentrate”,butthesetermsareambiguous.ThereforetheCouncilofEuropehasadoptedtheterm“prisonpopulationrate”.

The figureunderheading (a) corresponds to the totalnumberofdaysspent inpenal institutionsbyallpersons placed in detention for at least one day during the reference year (2011). Thismight be timespent inpre‐trialdetentionor timespentservingaprisonsentence,ormightevencorrespondtoothercircumstances(detentionforfailuretopayafine,forinstance).Nodistinctionismadeherebetweenthosecategories.

Bydividing thenumber of days of imprisonment by365 (366 in leap years)weobtained the "averagenumberofprisoners intheyear"or thenumberof"prisoner‐years"(b),whichconstitutesprobably thebestpossibleindicatoroftheaveragenumberofprisonerspresentintheyear.

(b) Otherformsofescape(abscondingorrunningoff): Examples are escapes from open institutions(such as work farms) or from semi‐detention, and escapes during an authorised short‐termabsence(orleave)fromallkindsofinstitutions(includingclosedinstitutions).

We have not calculated a rate for these forms of escapes, as that would lead to calculate the ratio ofescapes (other forms) to the average number of prisoners, without taking account the proportion ofinmatesplacedinopeninstitutions.

Data Validation Procedure The comparability of the data collected is one of the main concerns and main problems that anyinternationalsurveyseektosolve.Therefore,specialattentionisgiveneveryyeartotheimprovementofdatavalidationtechniquessusedinSPACE.

Accordingto theauthorsof theEuropeanSourcebookofCrimeandCriminalJusticeStatistics (Strasbourg,CouncilofEurope,1999),"validationisoftenthemostimportant–andinmanycasesthemostforgotten–stageofthedatacollectionprocess".

Thus, since the2002SPACE I survey,wehave introducedavalidationprocedure for thedata received.Suchproceduresubstantially increasestheworkloadofall the individualsandcountries involvedintheelaboration of SPACE. It also delays the publication of the data. However, we believe that the resultsobtainedinotherwords,theimprovementstothequalityofthedatajustifyitsuse.

Aspartofthevalidationprocedure,weproduce a preliminary version ofSPACE report and a series of controlTables that reveal a number ofinconsistencies or visible “outliers” inthe raw data received from nationalcorrespondents.

Then,significantdifferences(generallyannual discrepancies of more than10%or20%dependingonthequalityof the item) are corrected by nationalcorrespondents.

Insomecases, it is imperativetotranslateor to provide additional explanations inordertoavoidnewerror.

Mostof thecountries correct their figuresorindicatethereasonsforthedivergencesidentified.

ItwasnoticedthatdivergencesaremainlyduetodifferencesinthenationalprisonstatisticssystemsaswellasincriminaljusticesystemsacrossEuropeandareexplainedinthenotestotherelevantTables.

Nevertheless, despite our efforts to identify errors and the very rigorousmethodology applied for thevalidation, it is not possible to guarantee the full reliability of all data included in this report. Someoffiguresmay still remain “invisible” andothersmayhavebeen introduced involuntarilyduring thedataprocessing.Moreover,ithasnotalwaysbeenpossibletocorrecttheinconsistenciesdiscoveredinatotallysatisfactoryway.Inthatcontext,anyreaders'comments,notesorcriticismsarewelcomed.

Finally, the authors would like to thank all those who brought their support, advice, suggestions orknowledgeofspecificnationalfeatureshavecontributedtotheachievementofthisreport,inparticularthenationalcorrespondentsofeachMemberStateoftheCouncilofEurope.

A particular gratitude goes toMrRoyWalmsley for his attentive and critical reading of SPACE reportsduring the last 10 years.We are also grateful toMrWalmsley for having sharedwith us somemissingfiguresand,therefore,forcontributingtoincreaseofthequalityofSPACEcomparisons.

Point (4): there is no specialised detention institution for drug‐addicted offenders. The drug‐addicted inmates are detained in penal institutions of the Penitentiary Service and receivemedical treatment there. If they needmedical treatment after release, they canbe compulsorytreatedincommunitymedicalinstitutions.

Tables 1.5 and 1.6 are based onnon‐adjusted figures in order to ensure comparabilitywith data frompreviousyears. Inordertoincreaseaccuracy,thepercentagesshownininTable1.6werecalculatedonthebasisoftherawdataprovidedbythecountries.

InTable1.5,allpreviousrateswererecalculated.Therecalculationtookintoaccount:

(1) Modificationstopreviousfiguresprovidedbythecountries,and

(2) Updatestothenationaldemographicdata(totalpopulation)foreachyearmadebyEurostat.

Indeed,whenproducingannualSPACEreports,sometimesonlyestimatesofthedemographicalsituationineachcountryareavailable.Thismethodologicallimitationledtosomedistortionsforcountrieswherethecalculationsarebasedonestimatesorprovisionaldata.Inthatcontext,thefirstSPACEreportsuseddatafromtheCouncilofEuropedemographicreports,whicharenolongerproduced.Consequently,welater revised the results forall thesecountriesand increased thecomparabilitybyusing thesamedatasourcefordemographicaldatainalmostallCoEMemberStates.

Currently, the main source for national population data is the Eurostat database, which is updatedconstantlyandincludesfiguresforsomeofnon‐EUcountriesaswell.Thus,inordertoreduceasmuchaspossibletheeffectsofdifferentestimationproceduresandtousethelatestavailabledata,themajorityoftherecalculatedrateswerebasedontheEurostatfiguresofnationalpopulations.

Totalprisonpopulationsfor2010and2011wereamended.ThenumberofinmatesmanagedbythePrisonServicewas21,904inmatesin2010and23,191inmatesin2011.Thisfeatureisduetothe fact that inmates held in police stations were excluded from the calculation of the totalnumberofprisonpopulation.Therefore,totalnumberof inmates(21,034)in2012correspondsonlytothenumberofpersonsheldinpenalinstitutionsofthePenitentiaryServiceoftheMinistryofJusticeandthoseinthepre‐traildetentionfacilityundertheMinistryofNationalSecurity.

ForthecalculationsinTable1.5 weuseddataincluding detaineesheldinpolicestations.Yet,thisinformation has probably not been provided for 2003. Before 2005, the information on thedistribution by categories of prisoners in different types of penal institutions is missing.Therefore, itwas impossibletorecalculatetherateper100,000inhabitantstaking intoaccountonlythepersonsheldinprisons(i.e.excludingthoseheldinpolicestations).Asaconsequence,thepercentagechangebetween2003and2013shouldbeinterpretedcautiously.

Forthecalculations inTable1.6weusedthetotalnumberofprisoners including thoseheld inpolice stations. The total number of prisoners in 2011 was 905 and 930 inmates in 2012respectively.Thus,theincreaseobservedinTable1.6isaccurate.

Data for 2004 arenot comparablewithdata for previous years, becauseuntil 2003 theprisonpopulation included juveniles, while since 2004 they are no longer counted. Thus, data arecomparableonlyfrom2004to2012.

BRIEF ANALYSIS 

In2012,thereweresevenEuropeanPrisonAdministrationsthatexperienceddecreaseofmorethan5%in their prison population rates: Liechtenstein, Azerbaijan, Russia, Montenegro, Turkey, Spain, andSweden.Indeed,theseobservationsarerelativeasthetotalnumberofinmatesinLichtensteinwasonly8inmates on 1st September2012 and 13 inmates in 2011 respectively. As a consequence, the variationsobservedonsuchlowvaluesshouldnotbeconsideredasbeingsignificant.

Inalongitudinalperspective,itmayberelevanttoobservethedecreasingtrendinRussia:‐8.2%between2011and2012thatalreadyexistedbetween2010and2011(‐7.6%).

Previoustrends(between2010and2011)forothercountriesinthegroupthatdecreasedtheirPPRareasfollowing:Montenegro‐8.2%,Spain‐3.3%,Sweden‐3.4%,andTurkey+3.6%.Allthesecountriesstartedtheirdecreasingtrendsduringtheperiodfrom2010to2011.

Thenumberofcountriesthatexperienceddecreasingtrendsbetween2011and2012remainedrelativelystable(8countries)comparedtothenumberin2011,whichwas7,in2010–5,andin2009thisnumberwasequalto9countries.

Ontheopposite,thereare9countriesthatexperiencedanincreaseofmorethan5%in2012.Twooutofnine concerned countries are Andorra and Monaco. The fluctuations in these countries should beinterpretedinlinewiththewarningsprovidedpreviouslyforLiechtenstein.

In2012, the listof the countries that increase theirPPRwasonceagain reduced compared to2011. Itmustbeemphasisedthatin2011therewere11countriesonthislistandin2010theirnumberwasevenhigher(19).ThisobservationbringsustosupposethatanumberofreformsareundergoinginEuropeancountries. These changes do probably reinforce the perception according to which the imprisonmentshouldbeusedasultimaratiobycriminaljusticesystems.

Someof the countries that experienced increase of their PPRbetween2011 and2012had already thesame problem during the previous period from 2010 to 2011. More specifically, during the latestconcerned period of time, the increasewas observed in: France (+7.6%), Lithuania (+16.6%), Portugal(+9.9%),andRomania(+6.0%).

Countries that changed their trends from increasing between 2010/11 into decreasing (or stable)between2011/12are:CzechRepublic(+5.7%forthe1stperiodto‐2.4%forthe2ndone)andBulgaria(+9.2%forthe1stperiodto‐3.7%forthe2ndone).

Finally, the calculated median value of the evolution trends between 2011 and 2012 was of +0.1%.Nevertheless, this changedoesnot allow concluding to aEuropean stability ofprisonpopulation rates.Oneshouldpayattentiontothefactthat theevolutionfromtheEuropeanmedianof122.2 inmatesper100,000inhabitantsin2011to125.6in2012doesactuallyrepresentanincreaseof+2.7%.

NOTES – TABLE 2.2 

DataprovidedinTable2.2shouldbeconsideredcautiouslyasthepercentagescouldnotalwaysbecalculatedonthebasisofthetotalnumberofprisoners.Thefollowingcountriesprovidedtheagebreakdownforsentencedprisonersonly:Azerbaijan,Bulgaria,Latvia,Lithuania,Moldova(figuresforthiscountryareon1stOctober2012insteadof1stSeptember2012),andSweden.Forthesecountries,figuresusedinthefirstcolumnofTable2.2(Totalnumberofinmates) correspond to sentenced prisoners only, and the percentages included in theTable are calculated on thebasisofthatfigures.

Thecalculationofthepercentagesofprisonersaged18tolessthan21wasimpossibleforArmenia,Azerbaijan,andSwitzerlandbecausethesecountriesdidnotprovidethebreakdownforthisgroupofage(seenotestoTable2).

For three countries (Bulgaria,Hungary& Poland) the age ranges are slightly different from the main category(“Prisonersfrom18tolessthan21yearsold”).ForHungarytherangeisfrom18tolessthan22,andforBulgariaandPolandtherangeisfrom19tolessthan22.

AZERBAIJAN Totalprisonpopulationsfor2010and2011wereamended.ThenumberofinmatesmanagedbythePrison

Servicewas21,904inmatesin2010and23,191inmatesin2011.Thisfeatureisduetothefactthatinmatesheld in police stations were excluded from the calculation of the total number of prison population.Therefore, totalnumberof inmates (21,034) in2012correspondsonly to thenumberofpersonsheld inpenalinstitutionsofthePenitentiaryServiceoftheMinistryofJusticeandthoseinthepre‐traildetentionfacility under the Ministry of National Security. Moreover, the breakdown by age is available only forsentencedinmates(18,017).

CROATIA The breakdown by age does not include prisoners sentenced on the basis of Misdemeanours Act (191

persons).Therefore,these191personswereexcludedfromthetotalnumberofinmatesinthefirstcolumnofthetable.

CYPRUS As the breakdown is available for inmates held in theprison institution, figures for those held in police

stationswereexcludedfromthecalculationsforTable2.2.Therefore,thetotalof694personsisprovidedinthefirstcolumnofthetable.

POLAND Breakdownbyage for finedefaulters (490persons) is not available. Therefore, these490personswere

excludedfromthetotalnumberofinmatesinthefirstcolumnofthetable. Theagerangesareslightlydifferentfromthemaincategory(“Prisonersfrom18tolessthan21yearsold”).

ForPoland,therangeisfrom19tolessthan22.GERMANY

The totalnumber of prisoners under18 years is939, ofwhich385 arepre‐trial detainees, and581 aresentencedprisoners.Consequentially,thepercentageinTable2.2wascalculatedonthebasisofthewholepopulationinpenalinstitutions(incl.pre‐trials).

The totalnumber of prisoners between18 and less than21 years is3,961, ofwhich1,045 arepre‐trialdetainees,and2,916aresentencedprisoners.Consequentially,thepercentageinthistablewascalculatedonthebasisofthewholepopulationinpenalinstitutions(incl.pre‐trials).

THENETHERLANDS Figures presented in Table 2.2 concern only the population held in penal institutions, without juvenile

offenders,peopleincustodialclinics,andadministrativealiens. Asthenumberofpersonsagedlessthan18yearsandbetween18andlessthan21yearsisknownforthe

institutionsforjuvenileoffenders,thepercentagecanberecalculatedatthelevelofthepopulationheldinpenal institutions (11,324) and institutionsfor juvenileoffenders (567). Nevertheless, this figure does notrepresentanofficialinputanditisincludedhereonlyforinformation.Therecalculatedpercentagesareasfollows:

NOTES – TABLE 7 

Some countriesmay have includedpersons sentenced to securitymeasures (mentally‐ill offenders andpersons considered as dangerous offenders) under the category “life imprisonment”, because in suchcases the length of detention/imprisonment is not fixed. However, as a rule, such persons have beenexcludedfromthedistribution,andcountedseparately(seenotestoTable7).

FIGURE 5: STAFF WORKING INSIDE PENAL INSTITUTIONS ON 1ST SEPTEMBER 2012, 

PERCENTAGES 

 

OnFigure5alldataaresortedaccordingtothepercentageof“custodialstaff”.

Themedian value of custodial staff employed in all examined countries is 71.1% in the total of staffworking insidepenal institutions. Yet, it is important tokeep inmind,while performing cross‐nationalcomparisons, that inmany countries custodial staff is in charge ofmultiple institutions duties, such asvocationaltrainingandeducationactivities.

The part of custodial staff goes from 17% in Slovak Republic until 95% in UK: Scotland. Given thisobservation,onemaystatethatthediversityofbreakdownsledtoaverylargedefinitionofwhatshouldbe considered as duty of custodial staff. It is very likely that among personnel there could be peopleperformingmuchmoreactivitiesthanjustactivitiesdirectlyrelatedtoinstitutionalsecurityissues.
