Segregation – Detailed Dataset

This dataset details the use of segregation for all individuals in Ontario’s adult correctional system. Segregation is defined as any type of custody where an inmate is in highly restricted conditions for 22 to 24 hours or does not receive a minimum of two hours of meaningful social interaction each day, excluding in circumstances of an unscheduled lockdown. Each row of data represents a placement in segregation conditions . A placement begins when an inmate meets the conditions of segregation and ends when the inmate no longer meets those conditions. A break in a segregation placement is defined as occurring when an individual is out of segregation conditions for 24 or more continuous hours.
