OMB 1121-0102 · DOJ/OJP.

OMB 1121-0102

Through the National Prisoner Statistics program (NPS), the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) collects annual aggregate counts of prisoners in the custody and under the jurisdiction of state and federal correctional authorities, as well as the number of persons admitted or released. BJS uses the NPS to report each year on the changes to and movement through state and federal prison systems by sentenced individuals. These statistics are part of BJS’s core corrections statistics, as they contribute fundamentally to BJS’s mission of describing the movements of persons through the criminal justice system. The current NPS collection approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB # 1121-0102), due to expire January 31, 2026 (National Prisoner Statistics-Prison Population Reports: NPS-1B, Summary of Sentenced Population Movement), collects information on the prison population on December 31st of each year. The NPS-1B collects prisoner counts by race/ethnicity, the number of admissions and releases in the calendar year (by type), and capacity figures. BJS is requesting a 3-year clearance. This clearance request will cover BJS collection of prison data from 2025-2027, collected in calendar years 2026-2028.
