The Department of Corrective Services' projections of prisoner numbers are aligned with the financial year. Offender population projections are based on historical population trend information for each offender group, combined with reception and discharge trend information (for custody), or commencement and termination information (for community), to produce the overall trend. Offender population projections are an extrapolation of this overall trend into the future. As these are future projections the figures quoted in previous years may differ.
