Remand Population

This Singapore Prison Service collection tracks remand population figures reported as at 31 December each year. Member datasets break the headcount down by age group (including separate series before and after 2020), gender, education level, and offence group, alongside the overall remand population series. Researchers studying criminal justice caseloads, pre-trial detention, and demographic patterns among remanded persons in Singapore can download the CSV tables for longitudinal analysis. The annual release supports public transparency on custodial remand trends without duplicating sentenced inmate statistics.

Remand Population

This Singapore Prison Service dataset records the remand population in Singapore, counted as at 31 December of each year from 2007 to 2025. Remand refers to persons held in custody while their cases are still before the courts, so the figures capture people who have not been convicted and sentenced rather than the sentenced inmate population. The structure is deliberately simple, with one row per year and a single count column, which makes it easy to chart directly or to join to wider criminal justice statistics. Criminologists, policy researchers and journalists use it to follow pre-trial detention levels and pressure on Singapore's prison capacity over time.

Remand Population by Gender

Singapore Prison Service count of the remand population as at 31 December each year from 2007 to 2025, broken down by gender. Remand refers to persons held in custody while their cases are still before the courts, so the series is distinct from the sentenced inmate population. Each row carries the year, the gender category, and the number of persons in that category. Criminal justice researchers, policy analysts, and journalists use the series to track pre-trial detention levels in Singapore and how the male and female remand populations have changed over nearly two decades.
