.. not available for a specific reference period ... not applicable Note 1. Remand is the detention of persons in custody while they are awaiting a further court appearance. These persons have not been sentenced and can be held for a number of reasons (e.g., risk that they will not appear for their court date, danger to themselves and/or others, risk to re-offend). Remand is the responsibility of provincial / territorial correctional services. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2. Sentenced custody is the detention of offenders convicted of a crime, either in a federal facility (two years or more) or a provincial / territorial facility (less than two years). Sentenced custody admissions include admissions to intermittent sentences. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3. Other temporary detention includes persons who are being held in provincial / territorial correctional institutions for lock-ups or parole violations or suspensions; immigration holds; and those who are temporarily detained without warrants of any type. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4. Total custodial admissions are totals of remand, sentenced (including intermittent sentences), and other custodial status admissions. Return to note 4 referrer Note 5. Probation orders are dispositions imposed by the court for non-custodial sentences. The offender is released into the community under the supervision of a probation officer. The release is conditional on the offender acting in a manner stipulated by the court. Probation is mandatory when the accused is given a suspended sentence or a conditional discharge. For those jurisdictions that do not operate a provincial or territorial parole board (i.e., all but Quebec and Ontario), the probation caseload may also include a small number of provincial or territorial parolees. Probation is supervised by provincial / territorial correctional services. Return to note 5 referrer Note 6. When a conditional sentence is imposed, the offender serves their sentence in the community under supervision. The prerequisites for imposing a conditional sentence include: the offence must not have a prescribed minimum sentence; the maximum sentence of imprisonment for the offence must be less than two years; and the court must be satisfied that the offender would not endanger the safety of the community. The offender who receives such a conditional sentence of imprisonment must abide by certain conditions, such as "house arrest", curfew, alcohol or driving prohibition, treatment programs or a community service order, and may be sent to prison if he or she violates those conditions. Conditional sentences are supervised by provincial/territorial correctional services. Return to note 6 referrer Note 7. Other community programs include community service orders, provincial parole (Quebec and Ontario), fine option programs, bail supervision, and restitution orders. Given the limitations of, and the differences among, jurisdictional programs, inter-jurisdictional comparisons of the data should be made with caution. Return to note 7 referrer Note 8. Total community admissions are the sum of probation, conditional sentence, and other community programs. Return to note 8 referrer Note 9. Excludes cases where gender is unknown. Return to note 9 referrer Note 10 Percentage calculations exclude cases where gender is unknown. Return to note 10 referrer Note 11 Remand admission data in Newfoundland and Labrador exclude remands involving short periods of incarceration as these are managed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Return to note 11 referrer Note 12 In British Columbia, other custodial status admissions represent pre-court lock-ups in a correctional facility. Return to note 12 referrer Note 13 For the Northwest Territories, other custodial status admissions are not available. Return to note 13 referrer Note 14 For Nunavut, other custodial status admissions are not available. Return to note 14 referrer Note 15 Alberta data for 2014/2015 are not available. Return to note 15 referrer Note 16 Federal sentenced custody includes warrant of committal admissions. Revocations of conditional release are included under "other temporary custody." Federal community supervision includes provincial / territorial parole (except Quebec and Ontario), federal offenders on day parole and full parole, and federal offenders on statutory release. Return to note 16 referrer Note: Admissions represent movement from one legal status to another. For instance, an individual who moves from remand to sentenced custody is counted as one admission to remand and one admission to sentenced custody. Admissions data excludes Alberta because data from that province are not available.
