Prisoners

Statistics
Discontinued:
The statistics on prisoners describe the numbers of prisoners at the beginning and end of the year, and the numbers of persons admitted to and released from penal institutions. The statistics also contain cross-sectional data on the prison population describing the situation on the first day of May (prison population analysis). The mean number of prisoners depicts the annual development in the number of prisoners.

Detailed tables of the discontinued statistics are available in the StatFin archive database

The archive contains the database tables that we no longer update.
