    The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) and Survey of Jails in Indian 
Country (SJIC) provide the nationally-representative data on local jail 
populations and jails in Indian country. BJS, other federal agencies, 
and state, local, and tribal corrections authorities and 
administrators, as well as legislators, researchers, and jail planners 
use these data to track annual changes in the demographic 
characteristics of the jail population as well as changes in the jail 
population, jail capacity and crowding, the flow of inmates moving into 
and out of jails, and use of jail space by other correctional 
institutions. Providers of the data are administrators in approximately 
941 county and city jails and 80 tribal jails.
    The ASJ collects the following data at from local jails operated at 
the city or county level. Reporting units within the jail report data 
for their jail jurisdiction:
    (a) The number of male and female inmate deaths during the previous 
calendar year (new to the 2015 surveys).
    (b) The number of inmates confined in jail facilities at midyear 
(last weekday in the month of June).
    (c) The number of inmates confined in jail facilities and the 
number of inmates under jail supervision but not confined (e.g., 
electronic monitoring, day reporting, etc.) at yearend (December 31).
    (d) The numbers of following types of confined inmates--males--
adult; females--adult; males--17 and under, females--17 and under; 17 
and under held as adults; non-U.S. citizen; convicted; unconvicted;

program and the number of inmates participating.
    (f) The date and count for the greatest number of confined inmates 
during December.
    (g) The number of new admissions into and final discharges from 
jail facilities in collection year by sex.
    (h) The average daily population of jail facilities from January 1 
to December 31 of collection year by sex.
    (i) Jail rated capacity.
    (j) The numbers of unconfined persons participating in various 
programs such as electronic monitoring, home detention, community

    (k) The numbers of correctional and other staff employed by sex at 
yearend.
    The SJIC collects the following data for jails in Indian country at 
the jail level:
    (a) The total number of confined inmates in jail facilities at 
midyear (last weekday in the month of June).
    (b) The numbers of following types of confined inmates in jails--
males--adult; females--adult; males--17 and under; females--17 and

    Originally authorized by the Death in Custody Reporting Act (DICRA) 
of 2000, the Death in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP)-Local Jails is 
the only national database that can inform the issue of mortality in 
jails in depth. BJS uses this data to track and report on total and 
cause-specific deaths and mortality rates in jails. The DCRP-Local 
Jails has two components: Jail-level collection of retrospective 
yearend inmate counts and individual-level collection of information on 
deceased inmates during the current calendar year. Specifically, the 
following items are collected:
    (a) The number of inmates confined in jail facilities on December 
31 of the previous year by sex.
    (b) The number of inmates admitted to jail facilities in the 
previous year by sex.
    (c) The number of inmates confined in local jails on behalf of U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service or any 
other hold for another jurisdiction.
    (d) The average daily population of all jail confinement facilities 
operated by the jurisdiction in the previous year by sex.
    (e) The number of persons who died while under the supervision of 
the jurisdiction in the previous year by sex.
    (f) The first, last name and middle initial, date of death, date of 
birth, sex, and race/ethnic origin for each inmate who died during the 
reporting year.
    (g) Whether the deceased inmate was being held in the local jail or 
under the authority of the state department of correction; on the 
behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the U.S. Marshals 
Service, or other counties, jurisdictions or correctional authorities.
    (h) The admission date and current offense(s) for each inmate who 
died during the reporting year.
    (i) The legal status for each inmate who died during the reporting 
year.
    (j) Whether the inmate ever stayed overnight in a mental health 
observation unit or outside mental health facility.
    (k) The location and cause of death of each inmate death that took 
place during the reporting year.
    (l) The time of day that the incident causing the inmate's death 
occurred and where the incident occurred (limited to accidents, 
suicides, and homicides only).
    (m) Whether the cause of death was a preexisting medical condition 
or a condition that developed after admission to the facility and 
whether the inmate received treatment for the medical condition after 
admission and if so, the kind of treatment received (deaths due to 
accidental injury, intoxication, suicide, or homicide do not apply).
    (n) Whether an autopsy/postmortem exam/review of medical records to 
determine the cause of death of the inmate was performed and the 
availability of those results.
    (o) The survey ends with a box in which respondents can enter 
notes.
    (p) Confirmation or correction of the agency and agency head's 
name, phone number, email address, and mailing address.
    (q) Confirmation or correction of the agency's primary point of 
contact for data collection, title, phone number, email address, and 
mailing address;
    (r) Confirmation or correction of the names of facilities within 
the jurisdiction.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond
    The ASJ and DCRP-Local Jails previously had separate survey 
operations. In an effort to reduce burden on respondents and minimize 
costs associated with the ASJ and the DCRP, the ASJ will be fielded 
along with the DCRP beginning in reference year 2015. Another major 
change in the 2015 DCRP-ASJ is the simplification of questionnaire 
forms. The current ASJ sample includes approximately 335 jail 
jurisdictions (370 reporting units, or about one-third of ASJ 
respondents), which are selected with certainty (probability of 1). 
From 2010 to 2014, these ``certainty jails'' received a different 
questionnaire with additional questions on staffing, physical assaults 
on staff, and the numbers of rule violations by inmates in various 
categories, while the non-certainty jails received a shorter 
questionnaire without those items. The previously estimated time to 
complete the longer form was 2 hours, while the estimated time to 
complete the shorter form remains 1.25 hours. The total burden hours 
previously associated with the ASJ was 1,454 hours. Starting in 
reference year 2015, all ASJ respondents will receive the shorter 
questionnaire form, regardless of certainty status. This change will 
result in a total burden hour estimate of 1,176 hours, or a reduction 
of about 278 burden hours on respondents. The estimated burden hour for 
each form in the annual jail collection is listed below:
    (a) ASJ (CJ-9A/5 and CJ-10A/5)--There will be 941 respondents to 
ASJ for collection year 2015. It takes current ASJ respondents an 
average of 75 minutes to supply the information, so the burden hours 
are 1,176.
    (b) DCRP-Local Jails annual summary forms (CJ-9A and CJ-10A)--BJS 
estimates that 2,059 jail respondents will complete these forms, with 
an average response time of 15 minutes. The burden hours for these 
forms are 515.
    (c) SJIC (CJ-5B)--Eighty respondents will be asked to respond to 
SJIC for collection year 2016. BJS estimates that it takes an average 
of 75 minutes to supply the information for a total burden of 100 
hours.
    (d) Local jails/death reports (forms CJ-9 and CJ-10)--Analysis of 
data from data years 2000 through 2013 shows that annually 
approximately 80% of jails nationwide have no death in a given calendar 
year and do not need to complete a death report form. Approximately 600 
jails will complete reports for 950 inmate deaths. Each report takes 
about 30 minutes, for a total of 450 hours. Unlike the CJ-9A/5, CJ-10A/
5, CJ9A, and CJ10A forms, the CJ-9 and CJ-10 forms are not 
retrospectively. As a result, the reference year is the same as the 
calendar year.
    (e) BJS collection agent makes verification and data quality 
follow-up contacts to jail respondents to ensure data quality. With 
estimated 872 respondents and 5 minute per call, data verification 
induces a burden of 73 hours.
