How long are people detained for? In terms of official government data, what we were able to collect is the end of month detainee population at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre and Ma Tau Kok Detention Centre, broken down by the length of detention period.
In other words, the charts show the detainee population at CIC and MTKDC at a snapshot in time, and the number of days people were held at by that point.
If you intend to use the data, please read the notes for accuracy.
