Breakdown of convicted penal population in Singapore by gender 2013-2022
In 2022, the amount of convicted went down to approximately 4.57 thousand male inmates and 464 female inmates, indicating a decline overall since 2012. The decline could be linked to the focus on rehabilitation instead of punishment, especially for drug offenses.
