This table contains data on all persons in detention on 30 September of a reporting year. These are both detainees who are in pre-trial detention and have not yet been convicted at first instance and detainees who have been convicted. Only criminal detainees are included in this table; persons who are in custody of foreigners have not been taken into account. The detainees are distinguished by gender, age, migration background, residence permit and length of sentence, per reporting year.
These are detainees within the prison system. The figures refer to adults and minors aged 16 or 17 who are enrolled under adult criminal law. Minors who have been tried on the basis of juvenile criminal law reside in Judicial Youth Institutions. These persons are not included in this table.
