Data on the age and location of prisoners throughout the adult estate is provided in the ‘prison population tool’ which is released as part of the Offender Management Statistics quarterly series. The most recent document can be accessed via the following link:

Children and young people between 10-17 are held across the youth secure estate. The Youth Custody Service provides transition planning for those who will be in custody at the point of their 18th birthday and identify suitable placements for them.
