What this page is for
This article describes how “Multi prisons” appears in our England and Wales directory and how many establishments currently map to it.
It is intended to help readers interpret our listings alongside the separate category hub and our general guide on prison categories.
How category is represented here
We currently associate 38 establishments with this category band in the import-derived model. Mapping uses administrative fields and, where needed, inference rules documented in our data pipeline notes.
Figures and labels on Prisons Online come from the HMPPS prison export used in this build. Security category and function wording are administrative fields in that source (and category may be inferred where the export does not map cleanly). Always confirm visiting rules, contact details, and regime information with official HMPPS or GOV.UK sources.
