The Department of Corrective Services advises:
(a) The West Kimberley Youth Bail Options Program (YBOP) can accommodate up to three young people at any one time.
(b) The number of referrals accepted by the YBOP is provided. This does not necessarily reflect the number of separate young people who have used this service, as some young people may have been referred to the YBOP on more than one occasion during each year.
