Notes:
1. The figures in these columns cannot be added to produce a total maximum number since the individual establishment figures relate to different days during 2010-11. The maximum number of prisoners held within the Scottish Prison Service estate was 8,096 on 24 May 2010. The maximum number of male prisoners was 7,658 on 24 May 2010, and the maximum number of female prisoners was 490 on 22 March 2011.
2. During the period covered by this report, the Open Estate operated from two sites at Noranside and Castle Huntly.
3. Friarton Hall merged with Perth prison in 1999. This facility was used to house male young offenders between 2006 and 2010, and closed in March 2010. Population figures for this period were reported separately as Perth Young Offender Institution in previous publications.
