Notes: Admissions are collected each time a person begins any type of custodial or community supervision, and describe and measure the case-flow in correctional agencies over time. The same person can be included several times in the admission counts where the individual moves from one type of legal status to another (e.g., from open to secure custody) or re-enters the system in the same year. As a result, admissions represent the number of entries within a fiscal year to sentenced custody, to pre-trial detention, and to community supervision, regardless of the individual's preceding or following legal status. Data are based on a fiscal year (April 1 through March 31). Totals include all services in which young persons may be supervised. The Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), which came into force on April 1, 2003, stipulates that the final one-third of most custody sentences shall be served under community supervision.
