Inmates; gender, age and migration background

This table provides data on all persons who have been in detention in a reporting year, regardless of the duration of detention. Both convicted detainees and persons in pre-trial detention count as detainees. 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. 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. The table shows the number of detainees per population in absolute figures and their percentage distribution.
