Note: The counting methods for remand admissions have been adjusted slightly from previously published totals to better reflect offence information. Admissions are counted each time an individual begins any type of custodial or community supervision program, therefore a single person could experience more than one admission throughout the year. The most serious offence (MSO) is the charge considered the most serious, based on the Crime Severity Index (CSI) score. A "bail charge” is considered an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada, section 145, subsection (2) to (5). These sections are used to charge individuals on bail with a failure to appear offence or a failure to comply with the conditions of a recognizance.
