.. not available for a specific reference period ... not applicable Note 1 Sentenced custody counts for the provinces and territories include offenders on intermittent sentences (when in) and offenders serving federal sentences where applicable. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 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 for probation exclude Nova Scotia and New Brunswick due to the unavailability of data. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 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 3 referrer Note 4 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 4 referrer Note 5 The provincial/territorial probation data, including percent change in rate from 2016/2017 to 2017/2018, exclude Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Yukon due to unavailability of data. Return to note 5 referrer Note 6 As of 2013/2014, federal offenders on temporary absences are counted in custody counts rather than in community counts. Return to note 6 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 on per day. Figures may not add up due to rounding.
