Note: Additional data are available on CANSIM (Table 251-0009). Initial entry represents the first point at which a youth commences uninterrupted supervision within the youth corrections system. Each person is counted only once during their period of involvement with correctional services, regardless of subsequent changes in legal status. Figures may not add up due to rounding and exclusions.
