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.
