2. Detainee cohorts are determined by:

a) Sentence status – detainees are either unconvicted or under sentence.

b) Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander identification – there is scope for detainees to elect not to disclose whether they are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander or not.

c) Sex – while detainees commonly identity as male or female, there is also scope for detainees to choose not to identify as either sex or as a transgender person.

d) Security classifications – detainees can be classified minimum, medium or maximum classification. There are also levels within classifications.

Detainee cohorts are also determined by non-association issues which can be self-identified or intelligence-based.

Detainees can belong to more than one cohort. For instance, a female detainee could be sentenced and identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

The following table represents the number of detainees in each cohort as of 27 February 2019 broken down by gender.
