The criminological analysis of prisons requires having informationabout how they function. This article reviews the existing quantitative data sources on the activity of the Spanish penitentiary system, focusing both on available published official data and on the possibility of obtaining additional informationin the form of both official and unofficial data, through freedom of information requests and empirical research in prisons. Regarding official sources, we detail the questions these sources allow us to study and the limitations they present. Likewise, we explain the proceduresforobtainingunofficial data by conducting surveys in prison, and the challenges that might arise. This article concludes that,although in recent years access to data about prison practice in Spain has improved, there are still numerous problems with official data, especially regarding the content, manageability, and format of the data provided. For this reason, this paper finishes by presenting a series of recommendations through which the Prison Administration could improve access to relevant information for prison researchers |
