The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is requesting clearance to conduct three annual jail data collections—Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ), Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC), and the jail portion of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP) for a three-year period under a single clearance number. All three collections obtain administrative data. Jail administrators provide data that meet the definitions provided by BJS. Critical items on the surveys include - • The number of inmates confined in jail facilities by sex (all three collections); • The number of new admissions (all three collections); • The average daily population (all three collections); • The total number of deaths (DCRP and SJIC); • The numbers of confined male and female juvenile inmates, persons 17 and under held as adults, convicted and unconvicted inmates, and inmates by race/ethnicity categories (ASJ only); • Final discharges from jail facilities (ASJ and SJIC); • Jail rated capacity to hold inmates (ASJ and SJIC); • Name of inmates who died in custody (DCRP only); and • Cause of death and demographic information of the deceased (DCRP only).

The elimination of the longer ASJ form (forms CJ-5D and CJ-5DA) for 374 jails in certainty strata will save 45 minutes per respondent for a total of 281 hours. Combining the collections of ASJ and DCRP will save each of the 938 ASJ respondents 15 minutes of completing the DCRP ASF (CJ9A and CJ10A) separately, easily offsetting the minor burden incurred by the added question on midyear population on the ASF forms CJ-9A/5 and CJ-10A/5. This will save 235 burden hours.
