b. 37%oftheforeigninmateswereconstitutedofcitizensofEUMemberStates.Thisproportionslightlyincreasedcomparedto2012(34%).

8. About 17% of the inmates in Europe were pre‐trial detainees. This percentage rises until 22% when thoseinmatesheldincustodywithoutafinalsentencearealsoincludedinthecalculation.Theseresultsareclosetotheonesobservedin2012.

11. The average length of imprisonment in 2012was 8months,which is the same for three past years, but it isshorter compared to 2010 (9months). The duration of the pre‐trail detention remained the same as in 2011(about4months).

12. Themedianmortality rate in 2012was 28 deaths per 10,000 inmates (in 2011 itwas 26). There is a visibleincreasecomparedto2010whenthisindicatorwasat25deathsrespectively.

Survey Background

0.1 General overview

TheSPACEI2013annualreportispartoftheSPACEproject2.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).

The second part of the project (SPACE II), focuses on persons serving non‐custodial sanctions andmeasures. 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 PrisonadministrationsandProbationagencies,aswellasamongMemberStatesoftheCouncilofEurope(CoE).

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

Since2004, theSPACEquestionnairesare regularly improvedon thebasisofpreviousexperiencesandaccordingtotheassessmentsmadebyexternalpeerreviewersandCoErecommendations.SPACEI2013questionnaire corresponds to the methodological requirements adopted for the present survey andensuresasfaraspossiblethecomparisonwiththehistoricalSPACEIseries,startedin1983.

applied forproducingprisonstatistics.Theanswers to thesequestions–presentedmainly inTable1.1–suggest that cross‐national comparisons of prison populations must be conducted cautiously as thecategories included in the total number of inmates vary from country to country. The same is true forcomparisons of prisonmortality (seeTable13.1&13.3) and,more specifically, of suicides occurred inpenalinstitutions(seeTable13.2).

ANNUALMODULE Sincetheconceptualisationofthecategoriesinnationalstatisticsiscrucialforcross‐national comparisons, theSPACEI2013 survey carryon thecollectionof additionalinformation through AnnualModules. These modules correspond to topical issuesapprovedtobeansweredbyamajorityofnationalcorrespondents.

This year, the AnnualModule examines the topic of foreign inmates held in penal institutions acrossEurope. Given the increasing interest on these populationsmainly in Northern,Western and SouthernEuropeancountries,theneedofanalysingthepeculiaritiesofthesepopulationswasclearlyidentifiedasapriority for SPACE annual module. As far as the main questionnaire is concerned, the comparabilitythroughtheAnnualModulewasensuredbyapplyingthesamecategoriestothequestionsofdetail(e.g.typeofoffences,breakdownbylegalstatusincustody,categoriesofentriesandreleases,breakdownbyage).Thedatacollectedbymeansof thespecialquestionnaireansweredbyPrisonAdministrationsarepresentedinthePartDofthepresentreport.

SPACEWEBSITE Aside from the data presented in this report, the Website of the SPACE projectprovides some other useful information on custodial and non‐custodial activitiesacrossEurope(e.g.recidivismstudies,useful linksandaddressesinregardwiththePrisonandProbationadministrations).

Atthemomentofpublicationofthisreport,ontheSPACEWebsitearepresentedthemostrecentdataonthenumberofinmates,theprisondensityandtheprisonpopulationratesavailableon1stJanuary2014.

PROJECTDEADLINES ConcerningthedeadlinesoftheSPACEI2013survey,itshouldbestatedthatthedatacollectionstartedmid‐May2014,whenallPrisonAdministrationsoftheCoEMemberStatesreceivedthequestionnaire.Thedeadlineforthedata‐collectionwasseton30thJune2014.Atthisdate,only10countriesansweredthequestionnaire.

Theforty‐sevenMemberStatesoftheCouncilofEuropein2013countedfifty‐twoPrisonAdministrationsundertheircontrol.

Fifty(96%)ofallPrisonAdministrationsansweredtheSPACEI2013Questionnaire

TwoPrisonAdministrationsdidnotanswerthesurveydespiteseveralreminders:

(1) BH:BosniaandHerzegovina(Federation)hasnotansweredthequestionnairebecauseoftheacutelackofhumanresources:problemsrelatedtothetranslationofthequestionnaires.

(2) Ukraine:becauseofthepoliticalsituationinthecountryduringtheyear2014,theinternationaloffice[inchargewiththeSPACEdatacollection]ofthePrisonAdministrationcesseditsactivitiessince12thMay.

Data were not available for the following geopolitical entities: northern part of Cyprus (see “Cyprus”underA.1GeneralNotes),Kosovo,Transdniestria,Abkhazia,SouthOssetiaandNagorno‐Karabakh.

Themajorityofthecountriesansweredthequestionnairebeyondthedeadline(thedeadlinewasseton30th June2014).Moreover,somecountriesdelayedthesupplyoftheirresponsesuntilSeptember2014.Five questionnaires arrived during the month of October. Last three questionnaires were sent duringNovemberandearlyDecember2014.

At the same time, for some of the countries that answered the questionnaire on time, the validationprocess(seeDataValidationProcedure)tookseveralmonths.

Finally, for a few countries (and in particular for some specific figures) the data validation procedurecouldnotbeachieved.Forthisreasonthenon‐validatedfiguresarepresentedbetweenbrackets.Asmallpartof the figureswhich seemed to be totallyunreliablewere excluded from thepresent report, butareavailableinthedatabaseandcanbeprovidedonrequest.

0.3 Main modifications made in the latest SPACE I surveys (2008-13)

 

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 first 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.•An item on the number of juvenile foreign inmates (aged less than 18) was added since SPACE I 2012.•Since the SPACE I 2010, the questionnaire allows a distinction between male and female mortality in custody.

Conditions & Metadata

•Regarding the category of institutions foreseen for detention before trial, in the SPACE I 2013 the moreextensive definition was set up allowing a more reliable understanding of investigative institutions before trial.•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, placesfor persons serving custodial sentences and for juvenile offenders, and places in other types of institutions forthe detention 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 INBRIEF… The present report includes global indicators of the prison populations on 1st

September2013(PartA)aswellasdataontheflowofentries,flowofreleases,lengthofimprisonment,escapesanddeathsincustodyforthewholeyear2012(PartB).Onechapter (PartC) dealswith the personnel employed by the Prison Administrationsandthosewhoworkinsidepenalinstitutions.

In order to ensure asmuch as possible the comparability across countries, some figures arepresentedonlyas therawdata in the tables.Therefore, figures thatdidnotseemto fit thedefinitionsused in thequestionnairewerenotintegratedinthetableswithcalculationsofratesandpercentages.

A. Global Indicators of Prison Populations on 1st September 2013

Thesituationofprisonpopulationsonagivendateoftheyear(stockstatistics) isset inTables1to7.3.Thenumberof inmatesvariesover timeunder the influenceof thenumberofentries intoandreleasesfrompenalinstitutionsandthelengthofthestaysintheseinstitutions.

Table1:Situationofpenalinstitutionson1stSeptember2013

(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,suchaspersonsheldinsidepenalinstitutionsatagivendateand,morespecifically,pre‐trialdetaineesandsentencedprisoners.Sometimescountriesincludeaswell juvenileoffenders.Nevertheless, it becomes common to observe inside prison stock the following categories:personsunderpenal (therapeutic)measures,personsheld inprivate facilities, or thoseheld inopen penal institutions. Moreover, in prison stock may also be included inmates detained foradministrativereasons,undersecuritymeasure,recalledfromprobation,fine‐defaulters,etc.

(2) Prison population rate5per 100,000 inhabitants corresponds to the ratio of the number ofinmates (including pre‐trial detainees) per 100,000 population of each country, as of 1stSeptember2013.Takingintoaccountthattheinformationonthepopulationsofthecountriesisavailableon1stJanuaryofeachyear,thefiguresusedforthecalculationsarerespectivelyon1stJanuary 2013 for the total population of the countries and 1st September 2013 for the prisonpopulation.

(3) Capacity of penal institutions: number of places available in penal institutions for theaccommodationoftheinmates.Areexcludedfromthecalculationofthecapacityallspacesthatprimary were designed for other needs than the proper accommodation of the inmates (e.g.storageplaces,classrooms,corridors,showerrooms).

                                                            5This indicator is sometimes referred to as detentionrate, or prisonerrate, or imprisonmentrate, but these terms are ambiguous.ThereforetheCouncilofEuropehasadoptedthetermprisonpopulationrate.

(4) Surface area per inmate (calculated in squaremeters). This indicator corresponds to the legalstandardapplicableineachCoEMemberState.Accordingtolegalprovisions,eachinmateshoulddisposeof individualarea inside thecell, excluding commonplaces suchas showerenclosures,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.

D. Annual Module: Foreign inmates Since SPACE I 2012, every year the SPACE I additional questionnaire examine a special aspect of thecustodialorganisationinordertogathermoredetailedinformationaboutit.

Thisyear,theannualmodulefocusesonthecategoryofforeigninmatesheldincustody.Themaingoalofthisadditionalsurveyistobringlightonthecompositionofthepopulationofincarceratedforeigners.Inorder to answer this main interrogation, three main orientations were privileged: legal status in thecountry where the foreigners are incarcerated, judicial status in detention and the breakdown bycategoriesofoffences.Moreover,we included severalquestions related to themovements (entries andreleases)oftheseinmatesduringthereferenceyear(2012).

Forty‐eight (92%)outof fifty‐twoPrisonAdministrations answered theAnnualModuleSPACEI2013onForeignInmates.

Four PrisonAdministrations did not answer thismodule of the survey:BH:BosniaandHerzegovina(Federation),Bulgaria,RussianFederation,andUkraine.

OneshouldkeepinmindthatthephenomenonofoverrepresentationofforeignersincustodyisnotatallproblematicinEasternEuropeancountries.Therefore,wepresumethatsuchdetailedfiguresonforeigninmatesarenotcollatedinnationalstatistics.

As far as the quality of the responses, it should be highlighted that the detailed answers on thesepopulationswerehardlyavailableinnationalstatistics.Therefore,thevalidationprocedureswerelimitedto the cross‐sectional comparisons and the verification of identical items in the main SPACE Iquestionnaires(e.g.numberofforeigninmateswhoarecitizensofMemberStatesoftheEuropeanUnion).

AllthecategoriesincludedinthePartDrelatetothedefinitionof“prisoner”appliedinthemainSPACEIquestionnaire. This means that some countries may have included foreigners held for administrativereasons in the totalprisonpopulation,whileothercountriesexcludesuchcategories fromthestandarddefinitionof“prisoner”.

All the limitations applicable to the Part D are justified as they allow keeping the detailed figurescomparablewiththeonesincludedinthemainTablesofthepresentreport.

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,weproduceapreliminaryversionofSPACEreportandaseriesofcontrolTablesthatrevealanumber of inconsistencies or visible“outliers” in the raw data receivedfromnationalcorrespondents.

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.

Itwasnoticedthatdivergencesaremainlyduetodifferences in the national prison statisticssystems as well as in criminal justice systemsacrossEuropeandareexplained in thenotes totherelevantTables.

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.

1. Changesincriminallaw:a. The Act to Extend Courses of Action Available to Juvenile Courts (Gesetz zurErweiterungder

jugendgerichtlichenHandlungsmöglichkeiten) of 4th September 2012 (Federal LawGazette 2012Part I, pp. 1854 et seqq.) contains relevant amendments to the Youth Courts Act(Jugendgerichtsgesetz,JGG)thatareapplicabletothosewhowereyouthsatthetimeoftheoffence(14to17yearsold)andtothoseyoungadults(18to20yearsold)towhomjuvenilecriminallawisappliedpursuanttosection105oftheYouthCourtsAct.

i. Firstly,byintroducingsection16aoftheYouthCourtsActandaccompanyingprovisions,this Act created, with effect from 7 March 2013, the possibility of imposing youthdetentionontopofayouthpenaltyinonejudgment,ifexecutionoftheyouthpenaltyissuspendedonprobation.Previously,youthdetention(whichcanbeimposedforatleasta week's leisure time or as longer‐term detention for one to four weeks) and youthpenalty(atleastsixmonths)weremutuallyexclusive.Becausethereisariskofcounter‐productiveeffects,theapplicationofyouthdetentioninthesecaseshasbeenlimitedbystatuteto threenarrowlydefinedcasecategories. If thecourtsapplythe lawcorrectly,thenumbersofinmatesinyouthdetentionfacilitiesarethereforenotlikelytoincreaseconsiderably. It is even conceivable that, in individual cases, a youth penalty will besuspendedonprobationonlyifyouthdetentionhasbeenorderedundersection16aoftheYouthCourtsAct.Thiscouldleadtoan–albeitalsoratherinconsiderable–decreaseinthenumberofinmatesinjuvenileprisons.

ii. Secondly,byintroducingnewprovisionsinsections61,61aand61boftheYouthCourtsAct(inforcesince7October2012),theabove‐mentionedacthasalsocreatedrulesforpostponing the decision on whether or not to suspend an imposed youth penalty onprobation. Especially in cases where it is not possible at the time of the judgment tomakeasufficient,positiveprognosisregardingprobation,thiscouldleadtoareductionin the number of enforceable youth penalties and thus to a certain decrease in thejuvenileprisonpopulation.

b. Section105(3)of theYouthCourtsActwas introducedby theabove‐mentionedactwitheffectfrom8September2012.Withthisprovision,thepossibilityhasbeencreatedforayouthpenaltyof up to 15 years to be imposed against young adults for particularly serious cases ofmurder,insteadofthemaximumpenaltyof10yearswhichisusuallyapplicabletothisgroup.Thescopeofapplicationofthisprovisionwilllikelybemarginal.However,itisnotentirelyinconceivablethatthisnewmaximumsentenceforthemostseverecaseswillleadtoacertain(upward)shiftinthegeneralsanctioningpracticeoftheyouthcourts.

Surfacearea: The areawhich should bemade available for an adultmale inmate is 3m2. Forjuveniles and females it is 3.5m2. The Ministry of Justice and Public Administration Decree12/2010 (XI.9) modified the §137 of the Ministry of Justice’ Decree 6/1996 (VII.12.) “OntheRulesofExecutionofIncarcerationandPre‐trialDetention”. As a result of thismodification thementionedlivingspaceshouldbeprovidedtotheinmates"asfaraspossible",meaningthatthePrison Service may differ from that depending on the circumstances. The decree defines thevalue of the surface area as a standard guide but the actual area depends on the number ofinmatesandthevalueoftheovercrowding.

NOTES – TABLES 1.3 AND 1.4 

InTables1.3and1.4,figureshavebeenadjustedaccordingtotheinformationprovidedbythecountriesonthecategoriesincludedandexcludedintheirtotalprisonpopulation(seeTable1.1).Indeed,inmanycountries, special institutions for thedetentionof juvenile offenders, drug‐addicts,mentally ill persons,and administrative aliens are not under the authority of the Prison Administration. As a consequence,personsheldintheseinstitutionsdonotappearinthetotalprisonpopulation.Onthecontrary,ascanbeseeninTable1.1,othercountriesincludeallorsomeofthesecategoriesintheirprisonpopulation.Thus,in order to produce figures on prison populations that are comparable across Europe, inTable1.3, allpersonsunderthesespecialregimeswereexcludedfromthetotalnumberofprisoners.

PRIVATEFACILITIES Persons held in private facilities were kept in the adjusted figures (Germany,Turkey,UK:EnglandandWales,andUK:Scotland).

The total adjusted number of prisoners corresponds, in principle, to thenumberof inmatesheld inpenal institutions foradult inmateswhichareunder theauthorityof thePrisonAdministration.Nevertheless,thesedatamustbeconsideredwithcautionastheadjustmentsdonotnecessarytakeintoaccountalltheparticularitiesofthestatisticalcountingrulesappliedbyeachcountry.

METHODOLOGICAL REMARKS 

As some figures were missing (NA) in Table 1.1., it was not possible to adjust them in Table 1.3.Specifically,thefollowingadjustmentscannotbemadevisible:

ForGreecetheaccuratefiguresonpersonswithpsychiatricdisordersheldinpsychiatricinstitutionsorhospitalsoutsidepenalinstitutionsarenotavailable.Thelackofadditionalinformationmadeimpossibleanyadjustmentofthesefigures.Therefore,figuresforthiscountryarepresentedbetweensquarebrackets[].

ForMacedonia,wewereabletomakeonlyapartialtheadjustmentofthetotalprisonpopulationbecauseofthelackofaccurate figureonpersonsheld incustodial institutions/units for juvenileoffenders.Therefore, figures for thiscountryarepresentedbetweensquarebrackets[].

Theresultsoftheadjustmentsmadeontherawdatashowthattheaveragedifferencebetweenthenon‐adjustedandtheadjustedfiguresis lessthan5%(Table1.4).Onlyfivecountriesshowedadifferenceofmore than 10% between both figures: Cyprus (30.8%), Malta (17.0%), France (14.1%), Belgium(12.2%),andMonaco(10.3%).

In the special case of Cyprus, the difference is explained by a high number of persons held in policestationswhoareassimilatedtopre‐trialdetainees.

TheadjustmentsmadefortheNetherlands inthereportsbefore2009(untilSPACEI2009report)arenotcomparabletotheonesshowninthepresentreport.Thereasonisthat,since2010,theNetherlandsincludeonlyadult inmatesheldinpenalinstitutions,excludingthusjuveniles,mentally‐illoffendersandadministrative aliens detained under special [custodial] regimes (see notes to Table 1.1), which werepreviously included in the total numberof prisoners. In thepresent report, the adjustment ismadebyexcludingonlythecategoryofpersonsunderElectronicMonitoring(differenceonly2%).IntheSPACEI2009reporttheadjustmentconcernedalsojuveniles,personsheldincustodialclinicsandadministrativealiens(whichledtoadifferenceof28.6%).

ForFrance,theadjustmentwasmadetakingintoaccountnotonlythefiguresprovidedinTable1.1.,butalsothecommentstothattable.Therefore,theadjustedfigure(67,310)showstherealnumberofpersonsheldinpenalinstitutions(écrouésdétenus)andexcludesallthosewhowerenotdefactoheldincustody.

FiguresinTable1.3:accordingtotheinformationprovidedontheageofpersonsheldincustodialinstitutions/unitsfor juvenile offenders, inmany countries there are high proportions of that populationwhich are actually youngadults aged18 andover (e.g.Germany,Romania). Yet, since they areheld in these special penal institutions, it isassumedthatsomeparticularregimesofdetentionareappliedtothemandtheyarenotassimilatedtoadultinmates.

NOTES – TABLES 1.5 AND 1.6 

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.

Since 2005, the information on thedistributionbycategoriesofprisonersindifferenttypesofpenalinstitutions(policestationsandprisoninstitution)isavailable.Asaconsequence,thepercentagechangebetween2004and2013shouldbeinterpretedcautiously.

Italian data until 2003 included juveniles in the total prison population. Since 2004 thesecategories of inmates are no longer counted. Thus, data on the series from 2004 to 2013presentedinthisreportarefullycomparable.

BRIEF ANALYSIS 

In2013,therewereseventeenEuropeanPrisonAdministrationsthatexperienceddecreaseofmorethan5% in their prison population rates: Georgia, Monaco, Czech Republic, Latvia, Cyprus, Sweden, Serbia,SlovakRepublic,Malta,Croatia,Montenegro,theNetherlands,Bulgaria,Ireland,Poland,BH:Rep.Srpska,andRussianFederation.

Indeed,theseobservationsarerelativeasthetotalnumberofinmatesinMonacowasonly29inmateson1stSeptember2013and41 inmates in2012respectively.Asaconsequence, thevariationsobservedonsuch low values should not be considered as being significant. Moreover, as already stated above,Bulgarian inputs arepartial anddonot includepersonsheld in InvestigativeDetentionFacilities [IDF].Therefore, the series are fully comparable at the series level, but they do not correspond to the totalprisonpopulationofthecountry.In2012,thereweresevencountriesthatexperienceddecreaseofmorethan 5% in their prison population rates: Liechtenstein, Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, Montenegro,Turkey,Spain,andSweden.Themostrecentdecreasetrendsbetween2012and2013wereobservedinmuchlargerEuropeanareathaninpreviousyears.

Inalongitudinalperspective,weobservethedecreasingtrendinRussianFederation:‐5.3%fortheperiodbetween2012and2013.Thispositiveevolutionseemstopersist,becausetheobservedinputssince2010werealreadygoingdown:‐8.2%between2011and2012and‐7.6%between2010and2011.

Previoustrends(between2011and2012)forothercountriesinthegroupthatdecreasedtheirPPRareasfollowing:Georgia‐4.6,CzechRepublic‐2.4%,Latvia‐4.1%,Cyprus+0.1%,Sweden‐5.3%,Serbia+1.9%,SlovakRepublic +3.2%,Malta +3.4%,Croatia ‐3.8%,Montenegro ‐7.7%, theNetherlands ‐2.6%, Ireland+1.3%,Poland+3.4%,BH:Rep.Srpska+0.8%.HalfofallthecountriesinthisgroupdecreasedtheirPPRduringtheperiodfrom2011to2012.

Thenumberofcountriesthatexperienceddecreasingtrendsbetween2012and2013doubledcomparedto previousperiods.This increase of thenumber of countries experiencingpositive evolution trends isquite new for recent years, because previously the number of such cases remained relatively stable: 8countriesin2012,in2011therewere7,in2010–5,andin2009thisnumberwasequalto9countries.

Ontheopposite,thereare10countriesthatexperiencedanincreaseofmorethan5%in2013.TwooutoftencountriesareAndorraandSanMarino.The fluctuations in thesecountries shouldbe interpreted inline with the warnings provided previously for Monaco. If we exclude from the comparison thosecountriesthathaveverylowprisonpopulations(lessthan50inmates),thenweobservethatthenumberof countrieswith increasing trendsduring2011‐2012 and2012‐2013 remainedquite the same. Sowenotethefirststabilisationinthisgroup.In2012,thenumberofthecountriesthatincreasetheirPPRwasgoingdowncomparedto2011. Itmustbeemphasisedthat in2011therewere11countriesonthis listandin2010theirnumberwasevenhigher(19).

ThisobservationbringsustotheconclusionthatanumberofreformsperformedinEuropeancountriescontinuetobringpositivechanges.Furthermore,theideaofreinforcementofthealternativeswhichledtheimprisonmenttobeusedasultimaratiobycriminaljusticesystemsbecomesmoreconcrete.

50%ofthecountriesthatexperiencedanincreaseoftheirPPRbetween2012and2013hadalreadythesameproblemduringthepreviousperiodfrom2011to2012.Morespecifically,duringthislaterperiod,the increase was observed in: Portugal (+7.7%), Switzerland (+7.6%), Armenia (+4.1%), and FYROMacedonia (+1.0%). Portugal is the only country on this list that increased its PPR during 2010‐2011(+9.9%)aswell.

Countriesthatchangedtheirtrendsfromincreasingbetween2011and2012intodecreasing(orstable)between2012and2013are:Lithuania(+7.3%forthe1stperiodto‐3.1%forthe2ndone)andSlovenia(+7.9%forthe1stperiodto‐1.4%forthe2ndone).

Finally, the calculatedmedianvalueof the evolutionbetween2012 and2013was ‐2.0%.Nevertheless,thischangedoesnotallowconcludingtoaEuropeandecreaseofthePPR.Oneshouldpayattentiontothefact that theevolution fromtheEuropeanmedianof125.6 inmatesper100,000 inhabitants in2012 to133.5in2013doesactuallyrepresentanincreaseof+6.3%.

NOTES – TABLES 2.2.A AND 2.2.B 

Data provided in Table2.2.a should be considered cautiously as the percentages could not always becalculatedonthebasisofthetotalnumberofprisoners.

The following countries provided the age breakdown for sentenced prisoners only: Azerbaijan, BH:RepublikaSrpska,Bulgaria,Latvia,Lithuania,Moldova,RussianFederation,andSweden.Forthesecountries, figures used in the first column of Table 2.2.a (Totalnumberof inmates) correspond to thesentencedprisonersonly,andthepercentagesarecalculatedonthebasisofthatfigures.

Itwasimpossibletocalculatethepercentagesofinmatesaged18tolessthan21forAzerbaijan,Greece,andSwitzerlandbecausethesecountriesdidnotprovidethebreakdownforthisgroupofage(seenotesbelow).Thepercentageofinmatesaged18tolessthan21forArmeniadoesactuallycorrespondtotheresult including persons aged between 18 to less than 25. For another three countries (Bulgaria,Hungary&Poland)theagerangesareaswellslightlydifferentfromthemaincategory(“Prisonersfrom18 to less than21 yearsold”). ForHungary the range is from18 to less than22, and forBulgaria andPolandtherangeisfrom19tolessthan22.

In Table 2.2.b we included the total number of minors in the distribution (pre‐trials and sentencedinmates).Suchadjustmentswerepossiblewiththeadditionalaccurateinformationmadeavailableinthecomments by:BH:RepublikaSrpska,Bulgaria,Germany,Latvia,Lithuania,Moldova, and Sweden.Therefore, for these countries the total number ofminorsdoesnotmatchwith the figuresprovided inTable2(onlysentencedinmatesmadevisible).

The totalnumber of prisoners under18 years is863, ofwhich348 arepre‐trial detainees, and515 aresentencedprisoners.Consequentially,thepercentagesinTable2.2.aandTable2.2.bwerecalculatedonthebasisofthewholepopulationinpenalinstitutions(incl.pre‐trials).

The totalnumber of prisoners between18 and less than21 years is3,758, ofwhich1,035 arepre‐trialdetainees, and 2,723 are sentenced prisoners. Consequentially, the percentages were calculated on thebasisofthewholepopulationinpenalinstitutions(incl.pre‐trials).
