Abstract
Abstract In recent years, as part of the preparations for the annual Asian and Pacific Conference of Correctional Administrators, basic statistics have been collected from each nation in the region and compiled for circulation at the conference itself. Data collected for the 14th conference that was held in Darwin in September 1994 are summarized in this paper. These data include the numbers of male and female prisoners, and the imprisonment rates, for 26 nations in the region. Wide differences in these rates are noted. For a slightly smaller number of nations, data are also presented relating to the numbers of remandees, or unconvicted prisoners, the numbers of offenders serving probation and parole orders as well as juveniles in detention.
