Manitoba Corrections tracks reoffend rates for adult offenders coming out of provincial jails in Headingley, Dauphin, Brandon, The Pas, Milner Ridge and Portage la Prairie. They found that between January 2001 and June 2005, an average of 67 per cent of inmates released from those correctional centres were arrested and charged with a new offence within two years. The youth recidivism rate is about 85 per cent.
More than two-thirds of Manitoba's current inmate population in provincial jails are serving remand time. As of last Wednesday there were 1,998 adults and youth in custody. Of those, 605 were sentenced (30 per cent) while 1,393 are on remand (70 per cent).
