Convicted Penal Population

Singapore Prison Service publishes annual open data on convicted penal population as at 31 December each year. The collection bundles five CSV series by age group (with a break at 2020), education level, gender, and offence group. Criminal justice researchers and policymakers can study long-run composition of Singapore’s incarcerated population within the published coverage window. Transparent breakdowns support evidence-based discussions on rehabilitation and sentencing trends without identifying individuals.
