(1) Components may not add to totals due to rounding.

(2) The figures in this column cannot be added to produce a total 'maximum number' since the individual establishment figures relate to different days within 1998. However, the maximum number of prisoners held within the Scottish Prison Service estate, on a particular day in 1998, was 6,334. This maximum occurred on 25 March 1998.
