(3) The figures in these columns cannot be added to produce a total 'maximum number' since the individual establishment figures relate to different days within 2007/08. However, the maximum number of prisoners held within the Scottish Prison Service estate, on a particular day in 2007/08, was 7,757. This maximum occurred on 10th and 17th March 2008. The maximum number of male prisoners was 7,362 on 10th March 2008, and the maximum number of female prisoners was 412 on 20th February 2008.
(4) Low Moss closed on 28 May 2007. Therefore its average daily population for 2007/08 is much lower than its maximum population for 2007/08.
(5) Castle huntly and Noranside have been merged for administrative purposes and are now known as the Open Estate
