N.B. 2022 covers the period 1 Jan 2022 to 4 Sep 2022 inclusive. Includes only those offenders who spent time at Banksia Hill Detention Centre and does not include those who may have spent time at Rangeview Remand Centre. The privately operated Melaleuca Remand and Reintegration Facility became the publicly operated Melaleuca Women's Prison in 2020, hence two records for that year.
