WELCOME


 

The World Prison Brief is an online database providing free access to
information on prison systems around the world. It is a unique resource, which
supports evidence-based development of prison policy and practice globally.

The World Prison Brief is hosted by the Institute for Crime & Justice Policy
Research(link is external) (ICPR), at Birkbeck(link is external), University of
London. It was launched in 2000 using data compiled by Roy Walmsley, Director of
the World Prison Brief.

ICPR hosts and updates the World Prison Brief as part of its World Prison
Research Programme. This programme, which involves collaboration with research
partners, civil society organisations and policy makers, aims to inform and
promote debate and policy reform.

In addition to providing access to the World Prison Brief database, this website
holds other publications by ICPR and its original host, the International Centre
for Prison Studies (which merged with ICPR in 2014). These include the World
Prison Population Lists, the handbook on A Human Rights Approach to Prison
Management, and bimonthly International Prison News Digest. See the
International Prison Publications page.

The latest World Prison Population List, published in November 2018, reports
that there are likely to be well over 11 million prisoners worldwide.
