.. not available for a specific reference period ... not applicable Note 1 Total custody includes sentenced custody (including intermittent sentences when in), remand and other temporary detention. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Total community supervision includes probation, conditional sentences, provincial parole, full parole, day parole, statutory release and long-term supervision. The data exclude other types of community supervision and inmates on temporary absence. The total number and rate of adults in community supervision in 2017/2018 excludes Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The percent change in total rate from 2016/2017 to 2017/2018 and 2013/2014 to 2017/2018 excludes Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 Rates are calculated per 100,000 adult population (aged 18 years and older) using revised July 1st population estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division. Rates may not match those previously published in other reports. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4 In 2017/2018, Saskatchewan adult custody and community counts were compiled from a new source, the Canadian Correctional Services Survey. Some changes from previous years may be due to this transition. Return to note 4 referrer Note 5 In British Columbia, prior to 2017/2018, in a dual status situation where an offender had a conditional sentence and was on probation at month-end, the offender was counted under “conditional sentence.” From 2017/2018, this was reversed, and the offender is counted as on “probation.” Care should be taken in making annual comparisons of conditional sentence or probation counts that cross the 2017/2018 fiscal year. Return to note 5 referrer Note 6 Total custody plus total community supervision do not sum to the total correctional services due to unavailability of community data from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Yukon in 2017/2018. The percent change in the total (provinces and territories) community supervision rate from 2016/2017 to 2017/2018 excludes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Yukon due to unavailability of data. The percent change in total correctional services rate from 2016/2017 to 2017/2018 excludes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Yukon due to the unavailability of data. The percent change in total correctional services rate from 2013/2014 to 2017/2018 excludes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Alberta and Yukon due to the unavailability of data. Return to note 6 referrer Note 7 As of 2013/2014, federal offenders on temporary absences are counted in custody counts rather than in community counts. Return to note 7 referrer Note: Additional data are available on Statistics Canada tables 35-10-0154 and 35-10-0155. Counts are based on the average number of adults in correctional services per day. Figures may not add up due to rounding.
