Note: Additional data are available on CANSIM (Tables 251-0011 and 251-0012). 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. Age represents the age of the person at the time of admission. Include in charts and tables where applicable. Figures may not add up due to rounding.
