Guide for use:
The Incarceration history cluster provides information on the total number of times a prison entrant has been in custody in a juvenile detention centre or a prison. This is achieved by the combination of the two data elements: Prison entrant—type of corrective services facility, code N, and Prison entrant—number of times in prison or juvenile detention.
The Incarceration history cluster describes data on:
| Juvenile detention centre | Adult prison | |
| Number of times in custody | N[N] | N[N] |
As this data cluster aims to collect the prison entrant's previous history of incarceration, both items may be applicable to the one prisoner. That is, a prisoner may have previously been detained in both a juvenile detention centre (as a juvenile offender) and then in a prison (as an adult offender).
