r revised
  1. Some 2004/2005 Integrated Correctional Services Survey data have been revised.
  2. Due to a system change, data from British Columbia for the category 'other temporary detention' is not available as of April 1, 2005. Therefore, comparisons with the previous years should be made with caution.
  3. This category represents movement from federal custody to federal conditional release and includes provincial/territorial and federal offenders on day parole and full parole, and federal offenders on statutory release. Offenders released on warrant expiry and other release types are excluded. CSC denotes the Correctional Service of Canada.
  4. Due to missing data, total correctional services exclude Prince Edward Island and the Northwest Territories to allow for national comparisons between 2004/2005 and 2005/2006.
Note: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.
