World Pre-trial/Remand Imprisonment List

(second edition)

Roy Walmsley

Introduction

The World Pre-trial/Remand Imprisonment List gives

details of the number of prisoners held in pre-trial

detention and other forms of remand imprisonment in 211

independent countries and dependent territories. It also

shows the percentage of pre-trial/remand prisoners within

each national prison population and the pre-trial/remand

population rate (the number of pre-trial/remand prisoners

per 100,000 of the national population). Information is also

given on the trend in the pre-trial/remand population rate.

An estimate is made of the total world pre-trial/remand

population and attention is drawn to differences in the

level of pre-trial/remand imprisonment across the world.

The information is the latest available at the beginning of

May 2014.

The International Centre for Prison Studies (ICPS)

published in November 2013 the tenth edition of the

World Prison Population List. This World Pre-trial/Remand

Imprisonment List (like the World Female Imprisonment

List, the second edition of which was published in 2012)

provides information about a specific section of the

prison population; both of them complement the World

Prison Population List and the information which the ICPS

publishes and updates monthly in the World Prison Brief

section of its website (www.prisonstudies.org).

In providing information about prisoners held in pre-trial

and other forms of remand imprisonment, this List refers

to those persons who, in connection with an alleged

offence or offences, are deprived of liberty following

a judicial or other legal process but have not been

definitively sentenced by a court for the offence(s). They

will be in one of five stages, although not all legal systems

and not all cases will involve all five stages:

the ‘investigation’ stage, when they are being

interrogated to see if there is justification for bringing a

court case against them;

the ‘awaiting trial’ stage, after the investigation has

ended and a decision has been taken to bring a court

case;

the ‘trial’ stage, while the trial is actually taking place;

the stage when they have been convicted by the court

but not yet sentenced – the ‘convicted unsentenced’

stage; and

the ‘awaiting final sentence’ stage, when they have

been provisionally sentenced by the court but are

awaiting the result of an appeal process which occurs

before the definitive sentence is confirmed.

The World Pre-trial/Remand Imprisonment List has been

compiled, like the World Prison Population List, from a

variety of sources. In almost all cases the original source

is the national prison administration of the country

concerned, or else the Ministry responsible for the prison

administration.

Key points

c Two and a half million people in pre-trial detention and other forms of remand imprisonment are recorded in this List. In addition it is believed that there are about 250,000 such prisoners in China and, taking account of those in the countries on which official information is unavailable and of those pre-trial detainees in police facilities who are omitted from national totals, there will be close to three million held in pre-trial detention and other forms of remand imprisonment throughout the world.

c The total includes some 480,000 in the United States, 255,000 in India, 195,000 in Brazil, 116,000 in Russia, 107,000 in Mexico, 70,000 in the Philippines, 66,000 in Thailand, 55,000 in Iran, 50,000 in both Indonesia and Pakistan, 48,000 in Turkey, 47,000 in Bangladesh, 44,000 in South Africa, 40,000 in Colombia, 37,000 in both Nigeria and Peru, 35,000 in Venezuela, 32,000 in Morocco and 31,000 in Argentina.

c In a majority of countries (56%) the proportion of the total prison population who are in pre-trial/remand imprisonment is between 10% and 40%. But pre-trial/remand prisoners constitute more than 40% of the prison population in about half the countries of Africa and the Americas and in South Central Asia and Western Asia.

c The countries with the highest proportion of the total prison population in pre-trial/remand imprisonment are: Comoros (92%), Libya (87%), Liberia and Bolivia (both 83%), Democratic Republic of Congo (82%), Benin, Congo and Lebanon (all 75%), Monaco (73%), Paraguay (72.5%), Haiti (71%), Cameroon and Yemen (both 70%), Nigeria (69%), Bangladesh (68%), Philippines, Uruguay and Venezuela (all 67%) and India and Pakistan (both 66%)

c In a majority of countries (55%) the pre-trial/remand population rate is below 40 per 100,000 of the national population. However, in the Americas only three countries do not exceed that level and thirteen countries have rates of more than 150 per 100,000.

c Guam, the U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean, has the highest rate in the world, with 272 per 100,000 of the island’s population, followed by Panama (261), Grenada (209), Belize (202), U.S. Virgin Islands (195), Uruguay (194), Antigua & Barbuda (186), St Kitts & Nevis (181), Curacao (169), Seychelles (163), Barbados (162), Bahamas (159), Trinidad & Tobago (157), U.S.A. (153) and Anguilla-U.K (150).

c The available trend information shows that the pre-trial/remand population rate (the proportion of the national population that are in pre-trial/remand imprisonment) has grown in 98 countries and fallen in 80. In Africa and Asia it has fallen in more countries than it has grown but in Europe and Oceania it has grown in more countries than it has fallen and in the Americas the rate has grown in 32 countries and fallen only in seven.
