Tables 1 to 6 collect average-daily custody counts

The Average Daily custody counts (Tables 1 to 6) should be derived from daily-midnight counts and refer to the number of adult inmates physically inside the facility at the time the count is taken. However, if daily-midnight counts are not available, use the most frequent time interval, point in time or estimate, and indicate it in the comment fields.

Table 1: Average daily counts of adults in REMAND custody ONLY, April 2016 to March 2017 (for each of the following categories: Male, Female, Gender Not Stated, Total)

INSTRUCTIONS:

For table 1, include only persons in custody on a REMAND Warrant of Committal who are awaiting a court appearance AND ARE NOT also presently serving a sentence or being held on another "hold" status.

If average counts of adults held on REMAND ONLY are not available (i.e. pure remand status), or if your jurisdiction is unable to distinguish between remand-only counts and dual-status offenders on remand, refer to Table 4 to report average daily counts of all adults held in remand.

A-KIR Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end counts: This data should be derived from month-end counts of offenders under supervision.

Custody

Remand only: Remand includes those persons in custody on a REMAND Warrant of Committal ONLY who are awaiting a further court appearance (i.e. pure remand average counts), and are NOT presently serving a sentence or being held on another "hold" status.

Sentenced custody only: Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment under a Warrant of Committal ONLY, and NOT presently held on another "hold" status.

Other-temporary detention: adults who are being held in provincial/territorial correctional institutions for lock-ups, parole violations or suspensions, immigration holds, and those who are temporarily detained without warrants of any type.

Lock-up: a short period of custody spent in jail (since no cell is available in police station), while waiting to be released, usually to see a Justice of the Peace.

Dual status Remand and Sentenced custody: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and a Remand Warrant of Committal.

On-register: The average On-register but not in custody count should be derived from daily-midnight counts of offenders actually on the institutional registers but temporarily absent from the institution at the time of the count.

Temporary absence: Allows offenders to leave the institution for specific purposes. Offenders may be either "escorted" or "unescorted". Reasons for such releases are usually for family visits, medical services, rehabilitation programs, socialization or humanitarian reasons.

CKIR-Y Core Definitions

Introduction

This document is intended to assist aggregate data respondents in completing the standard data tables for the Corrections Key Indicator Report for Youth (CKIR-Y).

The development of National Data Requirements for any survey is vital to establishing a uniform set of concepts that are comparable across jurisdictions as well as over time. The application of uniform definitions and maintenance of comparable data is part of the mandate of the National Justice Statistics Initiative.

Survey respondents providing aggregate data should inform the CKIR-Y survey staff if they are unable to apply the core definitions to specific concepts (e.g., average counts) and to what extent their data differ from the core definitions. Highlighting these variances will allow the survey to notify data users if such differences exist, and will help to facilitate the development and application of uniform definitions as the survey evolves.

Survey Population

In general, the objective of the Corrections Key Indicator Report for Youth survey is to produce an unduplicated count of the number of young persons in custody as well as a count of the number of young persons actively supervised in community corrections programs.

Note: If your jurisdiction is unable to produce counts according to the rules that follow, please indicate how your counts deviate from them.

Custody Counts

The custody count is represented by the actual-In count.

• Includes all young persons inside the custody facility at the time the count is taken.
• Includes all young persons who are in custody and who are also under community supervision at the time the count is taken.
• Excludes young persons who are on-register, but not actually in a custody facility at the time of the count (e.g., Unlawfully At Large, in hospital, etc.).
• Legal Status counted is represented by the legal status at the time the count is taken rather than the time of admission.
• Multiple status In the event the young person has more than one status he/she should be counted as follows:
  • Count as sentenced any young person who is serving a sentence combined with any other status.
  • Count as pre-trial detention any young person who is on pre-trial detention combined with any other status except sentenced custody.

The CKIR-Y survey collects average actual-in count data for each month, which should be derived from the daily midnight counts. The Monthly average actual in count should be calculated as follows:

• Total all of the counts for the month divided by the number of days in the month. In order to report an average daily count for the year from the monthly average data, CCJS takes the sum of each monthly average count and divides by the number of months (12).
• In situations where a jurisdiction is able to only produce an average daily count for the year, total all of the midnight counts for the year and divide by the number of days in the year.
• If daily counts are not available for each day in the year, use the most frequent time interval available. For example, if average counts are only available for Monday to Friday, this would produce 260 time points and the sum of daily counts would be divided by 260.

Community Counts

The community count is represented by the active community supervision count for each program.

• Young persons actively supervised in more than one community program, are counted once for each program.
• Excluded are young persons who are in custody at the time of the count.
• Excluded are young persons who are under a supervision order, but for any one of a number of reasons are not actively supervised, (e.g., transfer of supervision, Unlawfully At Large, administrative termination).

The CKIR-Y survey collects month-end counts of persons in each program. To produce an annual figure, the CCJS calculates the month-end average count for the year.

• The month-end count is a point in time count, usually taken on or about the last calendar day of the month. The CCJS uses month-end counts to maintain continuity with traditional methods of counting the community caseload, which was usually done at month-end.
• Please indicate if your jurisdiction uses a different method of counting, such as average daily count.

The community portion of a custody sentence refers to the portion of the custody and supervision sentence which is served in the community.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end Community count: Data are an indication of the active community sentence caseload.

Open custody: A facility is considered "open" when there is minimal use of security devices or perimeter security. The extent to which facilities are "open" varies across jurisdictions. Open custody facilities include community residential centers, group homes, childcare institutions, forest or wilderness camps etc.

Pre-trial Detention: To hold a young person temporarily in custody, while awaiting trial or sentencing.

Provincial Director Remand: To hold a young person in custody following the breach of community supervision conditions pursuant to a warrant issued by the Provincial Director.

Reporting Period: The reference time period is from April 1^st to March 31^st.

Secure Custody: A facility is considered "secure" when young persons are detained by security devices, including those facilities which operate with full perimeter security features and/or where young persons are under constant observation. The extent to which facilities are "secure" varies across jurisdictions.

Sentenced counts: Includes all young persons in custody under a sentence Warrant of Committal, as well as those persons who have been sentenced on one charge but who are awaiting the completion of court hearings on another charge. Also includes young persons who have completed a custodial sentence and have been returned to custody following a breach of conditions.

Why do we conduct this survey?

The purpose of this survey is to collect up-to-date information on the number of livestock on your agricultural operation. The data are used by agricultural industry analysts and producers to make production and marketing decisions, and by government analysts to monitor the livestock industry and develop agricultural policies in Canada.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

4. Please verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Cattle and calves

1. On YYYY-MM-DD do you expect to have any cattle or calves on this operation?

Report all cattle and calves regardless of ownership.

Include:

• those that are boarded, custom-fed or fed under contract
• those that are pastured on a community pasture, grazing co-op or Crown land.

Exclude all cattle and calves kept on a farm, ranch, or feedlot operated by someone else.

Inclusions and exclusions

When answering the livestock questions, please include:

• all livestock on your operation as of YYYY-MM-DD, regardless of ownership, including livestock pastured, custom fed or fed under contract for others
• all livestock owned by the operator and held on Crown land, community pastures and grazing projects.

Exclude livestock which are owned by you but kept on a farm, ranch, or feedlot operated by someone else.

Community pastures, grazing associations, Crown land: a community pasture or grazing reserve can be a federal, provincial or municipal land operated by a manager and rented to livestock producers for pasturing animals at a fixed fee per head. A co-operative grazing association is a group of people who usually incorporate and rent or lease land for a common grazing area.

• Note: forest reserves fall under the category of grazing reserve. Crown land is land owned by the government (municipal, provincial or federal) and generally managed by the government. Crown land does not necessarily have to be used for the purpose of grazing livestock, although grazing does take place on Crown land, particularly in British Columbia.

Fed under contract / custom feeding: livestock are fed under a pre-arranged agreement with a company (for example, feed mill) or another producer to feed the cattle or hogs to market weight. Usually the "feed" operator owns the buildings and supplies the labour but does not own the livestock.

Feedlot (cattle): feedlots are operations where livestock are fattened for market. A feedlot operation may own the animals, or may feed them for other operators for a fee, or both.

• Note: feedlots are more applicable to cattle.

Feeding and finishing operations (pigs): feeding and finishing operations are applicable to pigs. Hog feeding and finishing operations are operations in which hogs are fed to market weight. Usually there are no breeding sows or boars in these operations other than those culled from a breeding herd, being fattened for slaughter.

Slaughtered for own consumption: if there are any livestock (cattle, hogs, or sheep) which will be slaughtered for personal consumption, include that livestock in inventory counts. For example, if a dairy operator has one pig which will be slaughtered for personal consumption, include this pig in inventory counts.

• Yes
• No

• Total number of farrowings: this question is asking to report the total number of farrowings in the last 6 months. If a sow farrowed two times in the last 6 months this would be reported as two farrowings.
• Average number of piglets born per litter: this question is asking to report the average number of piglets born per litter during the last 6 months. Some respondents interpret this to mean how many total piglets were born during the last six months. The data we are looking for is the average number of piglets born per sow. For example: If a respondent has 100 sows and each sow has 10 piglets born per litter. The correct response would be on average 10 piglets born per litter. Include piglets born alive and stillborn.
• Total piglets born: this question is asking to report the total number of piglets born in the last 6 months. This question is autofilled if the total number of farrowings and the average number of piglets born per litter are reported. Total number of farrowings in the last 6 months multiplied by average number of piglets born per litter equals the total piglets born in the last 6 months. If the respondent is not able to report the total number of farrowings or average number of piglets born, the respondent should manually enter the total number of piglets born in the last 6 months. Include piglets born alive and stillborn.

Sheep and lambs

15. On YYYY-MM-DD do you expect to have any sheep or lambs on this operation?

Report all sheep or lambs regardless of ownership.

Include:

• those that are boarded, custom-fed or fed under contract
• those that are pastured on a community pasture, grazing co-op or Crown land.

Exclude all sheep and lambs kept on a farm, ranch, or feedlot operated by someone else.

Inclusions and exclusions

When answering the livestock questions, please include:

• all livestock on your operation as of YYYY-MM-DD, regardless of ownership, including livestock pastured, custom fed or fed under contract for others
• all livestock owned by the operator and held on Crown land, community pastures and grazing projects.

Exclude livestock which are owned by you but kept on a farm, ranch, or feedlot operated by someone else.

Community pastures, grazing associations, Crown land: a community pasture or grazing reserve can be a federal, provincial or municipal land operated by a manager and rented to livestock producers for pasturing animals at a fixed fee per head. A co-operative grazing association is a group of people who usually incorporate and rent or lease land for a common grazing area.

• Note: forest reserves fall under the category of grazing reserve. Crown land is land owned by the government (municipal, provincial or federal) and generally managed by the government. Crown land does not necessarily have to be used for the purpose of grazing livestock, although grazing does take place on Crown land, particularly in British Columbia.

Fed under contract / custom feeding: livestock are fed under a pre-arranged agreement with a company (for example, feed mill) or another producer to feed the cattle or hogs to market weight. Usually the "feed" operator owns the buildings and supplies the labour but does not own the livestock.

Feedlot (cattle): feedlots are operations where livestock are fattened for market. A feedlot operation may own the animals, or may feed them for other operators for a fee, or both.

• Note: feedlots are more applicable to cattle.

Feeding and finishing operations (pigs): feeding and finishing operations are applicable to pigs. Hog feeding and finishing operations are operations in which hogs are fed to market weight. Usually there are no breeding sows or boars in these operations other than those culled from a breeding herd, being fattened for slaughter.

Slaughtered for own consumption: if there are any livestock (cattle, hogs, or sheep) which will be slaughtered for personal consumption, include that livestock in inventory counts. For example, if a dairy operator has one pig which will be slaughtered for personal consumption, include this pig in inventory counts.
