Note(s):
Counts are based on the average number of adults in federal and provincial/terrtorial custody (includes sentenced custody (including intermittent sentences when in), remand and other temporary detention) per day for each month. Figures may not add to totals due to rounding. April data for Quebec were revised, therefore the total provincial/territorial custody figure for April is revised.
