Deaths in Prison
	Below is a breakdown of deaths in prison by year since 1993. These figures include those of men and women, BME and youth deaths; the column of figures for prisoners who have died while remanded in custody (and therefore unconvicted) each year are also included in the Total column. Figures pre-1996 are based on INQUEST’s monitoring alone as detailed Home Office statistics were not available then, resulting in the low number of confirmed non-self-inflicted deaths. 2008     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 33 12 Non Self-inflicted 55 4 Awaiting Classification 3 0       2007     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 92 27 Non Self-inflicted 89 8 Homicide 2 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2006     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 67 18 Non Self-inflicted 86 8 Homicide 0 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Other Non-natural causes 2 1 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2005     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 78 30 Non Self-inflicted 88 13 Homicide 3 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Other Non-natural causes 5 3 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2004     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 95 36 Non Self-inflicted 107 9 Homicide 2 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Other Non-natural causes 4 1 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2003     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 93 34 Non Self-inflicted 78 9 Homicide 1 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2002     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 96 31 Non Self-inflicted 57 8 Homicide 0 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2001     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 73 25 Non Self-inflicted 50 2 Homicide 1 1 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       2000     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 82 38 Non Self-inflicted 57 4 Homicide 3 2 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1999     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 91 30 Non Self-inflicted 55 4 Homicide 0 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1998     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 83 31 Non Self-inflicted 45 4 Homicide 6 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1997     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 69 30 Non Self-inflicted 47 5 Homicide 2 1 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1996     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 65 33 Non Self-inflicted 52 1 Homicide 2 1 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1995     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 59 23 Non Self-inflicted 7 1 Homicide 3 1 Control & Restraint 3 1 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1994     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 59 24 Non Self-inflicted 5 2 Homicide 2 1 Control & Restraint 1 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       1993     Classification Total Remand Self Inflicted 48 27 Non Self-inflicted 2 1 Homicide 1 0 Control & Restraint 0 0 Awaiting Classification 0 0       Last updated 22 July 2008
