I would like to request statistics of people within the UK experiencing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have been or are in prison, previous and present.
I would like statistics of intervention provided by support services, or treatment, the individuals received whilst in the judicial system.

Thank you for your request.
I am afraid we do not hold recent statistics concerning people within the UK experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have been or are in prison. Whilst we did publish analysis concerning the psychiatric morbidity of prisoners previously (which included those with PTSD), this was in 1997 and has not been updated since.
A few reports you may find useful include a review of prison mental health services by the Prison's Ombudsman and the Bradley report (2009) reviewing people with mental health problems or learning disabilities within the Criminal Justice System.
The Ministry of Justice may be better placed to facilitate this request as they are more likely to possess statistics on the health circumstances of the prison population.
