| Note: Excludes Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Nunavut due to missing data. The earliest reference year in this table is 2004/2005 rather than 2003/2004 (first year of implementation of the Youth Criminal Justice Act) as 2003/2004 data for Ontario were incomplete. Percentages are based on total releases excluding where length of time spent in custody was unknown (which ranged between zero and less than 1% across all reporting jurisdictions).
