Having a hard time find any statistics from this decade on the amount of people who are incarcerated in Canada for drug possession

I took a quick look and its hard to find how many are actually in prison for drugs. Its easy to find the total number of arrests, convictions, and inmates but hard to see how many are in for drugs.

This is the closest thing I could find, where it does give the number of cases along with the sentencing. It might be possible that if you added the possession and "other" convictions together you'd get a pretty accurate picture of what happened year by year, but it still doesn't give the information in regards to how many people are actually in custody at any given time.

Good luck on your project.
