The Daily. Wednesday, December 19, 2001 Youth custody and community services1999/2000This new report, Juristat: Youth custody and community services in Canada, 1999/2000 describes the case-flow and workload of the youth correctional system for the fiscal year 1999/2000. It profiles the number and characteristics of admissions to and releases from youth custody and probation. Specifically, admissions data describe the nature of the offence and the length of disposition ordered by the court, while the release data describe the duration of actual time served. Data also describe a young offender's age, sex and aboriginal status. Incarceration rates are based on the average daily workload counts of young offenders in correctional facilities on any given day. Among the reporting provinces in 1999/2000, incarceration rates ranged from 10 young offenders per 10,000 youths in British Columbia to 37 per 10,000 in Saskatchewan. From 1995/96 to 1999/2000, incarceration rates in most jurisdictions showed large decreases (ranging from -11% to -37%), whereas the rate remained stable in Saskatchewan.
