Correctional Statistics for Asia and the Pacific, 1999
(obtained for the 19^th Asian and Pacific Conference of Correctional Administrators)

The statistical tables shown below were developed from information submitted by participants in the 19th Asia and Pacific Conference of Correctional Administrators, in Shanghai, China, October 1999.

Delegates were invited to suggest any changes that were needed to the statistics during the course of conference, or by mail or fax in the following two or three weeks. All suggested changes have been incorporated.

It should be noted that international comparisons must be made with caution, as it is not possible to ensure that all nations in the region have used the terminology in the same way.
