Note: Additional data are available on Statistics Canada tables 35-10-0006 and 35-10-0007. 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. Figures may not add up due to rounding.
