Description
This Singapore Prison Service dataset counts inmates admitted to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) each year from 2006 to 2020, broken down by age group. DRC admission is a treatment and rehabilitation route for drug abusers rather than a punitive prison sentence, so the numbers reflect how many people entered supervised rehabilitation in each year. Records pair the year with the number of admissions for the relevant age band, allowing users to see whether intake is concentrated among younger or older abusers and how that mix has shifted over fifteen years. It supports research on drug policy, rehabilitation demand and youth drug abuse trends in Singapore.
