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 2011-12.
2. The new prison at Low Moss opened in March 2012.
3. The Open Estate previously operated from two sites at Noranside and Castle Huntly. Noranside was closed in November 2011.
