Statistics Canada Article on Adult and Youth Correctional Statistics

Juristat, a Statistics Canada publication, recently published an article entitled Adult and youth correctional statistics in Canada, 2017/2018.

Overall, fewer adults and youth were under supervision by correctional services in Canada in 2017/2018 compared with five years earlier. However, the number of adults in remand awaiting trial or sentencing continues to be greater than the number in sentenced custody.
