Remand prisoners, those who have not been convicted or sentenced by a court, constitute about 15% of the prison population at any one time (between 12-13,000 prisoners). Women and those from black and minority ethnic and foreign national backgrounds are over-represented. Remand prisoners suffer from a poorer regime and are offered less support than sentenced prisoners, leading to an increased risk of suicide and self-harm.
