# Young people in youth detention each day, Queensland 2011 to 2016

Youth Justice in Queensland published the number of young people held in youth detention on each day from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2016. The count covers young people remanded in custody or serving a sentenced detention order, and leaves out those held in youth detention on pre-court custody.

The publisher released five tables, each splitting the same daily total a different way: by age group, by detention centre, by sex, by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status and by legal status. Each table ends at 30 June 2016 and has not been extended.
