Note: Additional data are available on CANSIM (Tables 251-0021, 251-0022, 251-0025, 251-0026 and 251-0028). An admission is counted each time a person begins any type of custody or community supervision program. The same person can be included several times in the admissions count where the individual moves from one type of legal status to another or re-enters the system in the same year. The calculation of percentages excludes admissions for which the information was unknown.
