Assault Rate

Singapore Prison Service indicator of assault rate per 10,000 inmates annually from 2007 through 2025. The single metric supports monitoring safety trends within correctional facilities over time. Corrections researchers and oversight bodies compare year-on-year rates while recognising population denominators shift with inmate counts. CSV columns are year and assault rate per 10,000 inmates.

Overall SPS Population

Overall Singapore Prison Service population from 2017 through 2025, published in CSV format with fields for year, type of population, and number of persons. The dataset covers both the incare population held in institutions and the community corrections population supervised outside prison, giving a combined view of people under SPS supervision. Criminal justice researchers, policy analysts, and rehabilitation organisations use it to track incarceration levels, the shift toward community-based supervision, and demand for rehabilitation and reintegration programmes.

5 Year Recidivism Rate

Singapore Prison Service CSV of five-year recidivism rates for local offenders released from SPS custody, covering cohorts from about 2016 through 2020. The rate is the percentage subsequently detained, imprisoned, or placed on a day reporting order within five years of release; the definition applies from the 2018 cohort onwards. Columns cover year, recidivism rate type, and the five-year rate. Longer-horizon justice research compares five-year outcomes with two-year SPS series.

2 Year Recidivism Rate

Singapore Prison Service CSV of two-year recidivism rates for local offenders released from SPS custody, covering release cohorts from about 2005 through 2023. Recidivism is the share subsequently detained, imprisoned, or placed on a day reporting order within two years of release; the published definition applies from the 2018 cohort onwards. Columns include year, recidivism rate type, and the two-year rate. Justice researchers monitor rehabilitation outcomes in Singapore’s corrections system.

Number of National and Foreign Citizens Held

Singapore Prison Service CSV of persons held in prisons, penal, or correctional institutions, split by national and foreign citizenship type from 2006 through 2025. Columns cover year, type of citizens, and headcount. Justice and demography researchers track the composition of Singapore’s custodial population over nearly two decades.

Remand Population by Offence Group

Singapore Prison Service CSV of Singapore's remand population as at 31 December each year from 2007 through 2025, broken down by main offence group. Columns include year, offence group, and the number of persons held on remand. Criminal-justice researchers and policy analysts track how the profile of unsentenced detainees by offence type has shifted over nearly two decades.

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 Education Level

Annual CSV from the Singapore Prison Service on remand population as at 31 December each year from 2007 through 2025, broken down by education level with counts by year. Corrections researchers and policymakers study literacy profiles among remand inmates and trends in educational attainment within Singapore’s remand population.

Remand Population by Age Group (2020 onwards)

Singapore Prison Service annual CSV of remand population as at 31 December by age group from 2020 through 2025, with age bands revised in 2020 to national statistical standards. Justice and policy researchers track remand age structure under the updated classification.

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.

Inmates admitted to Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) by Education Level

This Singapore Prison Service dataset records the number of inmates admitted to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) each year, broken down by their education level. Each row pairs a year with an education category and the corresponding number of admissions, covering 2006 through 2025 and giving roughly two decades of comparable annual counts. Because DRC placement is a treatment and rehabilitation pathway rather than a punitive sentence, the figures indicate the educational profile of people entering supervised drug rehabilitation in Singapore. Researchers and policymakers use it to examine links between educational attainment and drug abuse, and to target prevention and aftercare programmes more effectively.
