Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri revealed the detail following a series of parliamentary questions from MP Joe Giglio. 

Of the 560, 339 people are serving a prison sentence while 221 people are in the facility under preventative arrest and are still awaiting trial. 

Maltese make up the bulk of inmates serving a prison sentence (219) compared to foreigners (120).
