Note: Custody admissions include sentenced custody (including intermittent sentences), remand and other temporary detention. Additional data are available on CANSIM (Tables 251-0021, 251-0022, 251-0025 and 251-0026). 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.
