ANNU AL STATISTICS
I NTRODUCTION
The Northern Territory Department of Correctional Services (NTDCS) supervise both adults and
juveniles who are subject to imprisonment/detention or community based court orders. Persons in
custody are located at:
Adults  Alice Springs Correctional Centre;
 Darwin Correctional Centre; and
 Barkly Work Camp.
Juveniles  Aranda House, located in Alice Springs, which is a temporary juvenile holding facility;
 Alice Springs Juvenile Detention Centre, located within the Alice Springs Correctional
Precinct; and
 Don Dale Juvenile Detention Centre, located 16 km south of Darwin.
The non-custodial orders are administered by officers located in eight offices throughout the
Northern Territory (NT):
 Palmerston and Top End Region (Jabiru, Maningrida, Oenpelli, Tiwi Islands);
 Casuarina;
 Alice Springs;
 Katherine;
 Tennant Creek;
 Groote Eylandt (Alyangula);
 Wadeye (Port Keats); and
 Nhulunbuy.
This report presents detailed statistics on adults and juveniles supervised by NTDCS during
2011-12. Data from 2010-11 are supplied for comparison purposes as well as some long term data
to show trends.
Statistics in this report include demographic characteristics of prisoners and community corrections
clients, receptions, sentence status, offence types, last known address, caseload, community
corrections client turn over, imprisonment rates and sentence durations.
The majority of the data are extracted from the Integrated Offender Management System (IOMS).
Some internal data compiled by NTDCS are also used, (eg escape information, daily averages).
National rates of imprisonment, compiled by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) are provided
for comparison with NT rates.
Selected characteristics in relation to the NT and other jurisdictions for 2010-11 from the ‘Report on
Government Services’ are presented in this report.
Care should be taken when comparing information from this with other publications (eg ABS
publications, Department of Justice Annual Report and Report on Government Services), as
different data collection timeframes, data extractions dates, different data sources or different
counting methods may have been used.
The tables provided in this publication relating to the census of prisoners held on 30 June 2012 only
include prisoners held in NT Correctional Centres. It does not include six prisoners who were held in
Police Prisons on the night of 30 June 2012. These police prisoners are included in the ABS
publication “Prisoners in Australia” therefore some differences may occur between figures in this
report and figures published by the ABS.
The basis for reporting on offences is the Most Serious Offence (MSO) for the episode as recorded
in IOMS. To enable national comparability, reporting on offences is in accordance with the
Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC) divisions and selected
subdivisions. Offence table abbreviations and classifications can be found in Appendix 1.
The totals in some tables (eg daily averages) may differ to the sum of the components due to
rounding of the values of the components.

F OREIGN N ATION AL P RISONERS
Foreign national prisoners are often held in Northern Territory correctional institutions and are
included in the counts as non-Indigenous. The yearly daily average number of foreign national
prisoners reached a peak of 145 in 2000-01.
Between 1999-00 and 2002-03, the majority of foreign national prisoners held in Northern Territory
correctional institutions were classified as people smugglers. People smugglers are generally
non-Australian citizens in custody for federal ‘people smuggling’ offences 8. There was a rapid
increase in the number of receptions of people smugglers during the 1999-00 financial year. During
the period 1999-00 to 2001-02, people smugglers represented a significant proportion of the total
custody population and a large proportion of the non-Indigenous custody population. The yearly
daily average number of people smugglers reached a peak of 122 in 2000-01. Since then it has
been decreasing. By 2003-04, the number of people smugglers became negligible.

OVERVIEW OF PERFORM AN CE
This part of the report is committed to reporting the activities and progress of the Department against
the five key focus areas, which are described in detail in the Business Plan:

Containment

Supervision

Offender Rehabilitation and Reintegration

Reparation

Advice to Sentencing Authorities
P ERFORM ANCE
The following table contains information produced by the Steering Committee for the Review of
Commonwealth/State Service Provision (SCRCSSP) contained in the ‘Report on Government
Services, 2012’, which compares service delivery performance across jurisdictions in Australia.
Each jurisdiction provides standard information by which comparisons can be made. For corrective
services, performance is categorised according to efficiency or effectiveness. Key focus areas
mentioned above are addressed by at least one indicator and a selection of summary indicators are
presented in the following table.
The information presented in the following table for other jurisdictions is for 2010-11. The Agency
uses many of the findings from this exercise to establish benchmarks for its own business planning
exercises.
In many instances, the Northern Territory differs from other jurisdictions. These unique
characteristics include the small general population of which a high proportion is comprised of
Indigenous persons, dispersion of the population and remoteness, which results in higher costs for
goods and services and the physical location of the Northern Territory in comparison to other states.
It should also be noted that some of the indicators used in the following table might differ from those
used elsewhere in this Annual Report. This may be due to differences between jurisdictions in
accrual or cash accounting processes and the exclusion of juvenile justice from the SCRCSSP
exercise.
As can be seen, the Northern Territory compares reasonably with other jurisdictions in most of the
performance indicators mentioned above. The measure of recidivism is seen to be a partial
measure of the whole justice system, not just the correctional system. It is recognised that the rates
of recidivism is partially determined by many factors outside the justice system, including education,
employment and social conditions. The measures of recidivism used are limited in that they do not
consider the types of re-offending, only follow a person within the same jurisdiction in which they
completed the original corrections program and do not include any offences which result in an
outcome not administered by correctional services (e.g. fines, bonds and suspended sentences).
