Annual Survey of Jails:  Jurisdiction-Level Data, 1987

This data collection provides annual data on jail
 populations across the nation and examines the "spillover" effect on
 local jails resulting from the dramatic growth in federal and state
 prison populations. These data permit an assessment of the demands
 placed on correctional resources and provide a complete picture of the
 adult correctional system and the changes that occur in that system.
 Information is available on the number of inmates by sex, race, adult
or juvenile status, reason being held, and cause of death.
Annual Survey of Jails:  Jurisdiction-Level and Jail-Level Data, 1992  

This collection provides annual data on jail populations 
 across the nation and examines the "spillover" effect on local jails 
 resulting from the dramatic growth in federal and state prison 
 populations. These data permit an assessment of the demands placed on 
 correctional resources and provide a comprehensive picture of the adult 
 correctional system and changes that occur within the system. 
 Information is available on the number of inmates by sex, race, adult 
 or juvenile status, reason being held, and cause of death. Also added 
 in the 1992 survey were variables on citizenship, population movement, 
 and total number of inmate deaths for inmates originally confined to 
 the facility in question who died either at that facility or elsewhere. 
 Also, the 1992 version included a more complete survey of jail programs 
 and a supplemental questionnaire (CJ-5S), which dealt with AIDS-related 
 questions. In addition, information was collected for the first time on 
 drug testing, programs that treated or educated inmates, boot camps, work 
 release, and alternatives to incarceration such as electronic 
 monitoring, house arrest, community service, and weekend or day 
reporting.
Annual Survey of Jails:  Jurisdiction-Level and Jail-Level Data, 1991  

This collection provides annual data on jail populations
 across the nation and examines the "spillover" effect on local jails
 resulting from the dramatic growth in federal and state prison
 populations. These data permit an assessment of the demands placed on
 correctional resources and provide a comprehensive picture of the
 adult correctional system and changes that occur within the system.
 Information is available on the number of inmates by sex, race, adult
 or juvenile status, reason being held, and cause of death. Facility
 characteristics were collected regarding capacity, court orders,
conditions of confinement, and alternative programs.
Annual Survey of Jails:  Jurisdiction-level and Jail-level Data, 1985  

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) sponsors the Sample 
 Survey of Jails as part of a series of statistical programs measuring 
 the correctional population. The Sample Survey meets BJS's need to 
 analyze continuously the "spillover" effect on local jails of the 
 growth in federal and state prison populations. The data are used in 
 conjunction with statistics on federal and state prisoners to provide a 
 complete picture of the adult correctional system and to measure 
changes in that system.
Annual Survey of Jails: Jail-Level Data, 2012

The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) is the only data collection effort that provides an annual source of data on local jails and jail inmates. Data on the size of the jail population and selected inmate characteristics are obtained every five to six years from the Census of Jails.  In each of the years between the full censuses, a sample survey of jails is conducted to estimate
baseline characteristics of the nation's jails and inmates housed in these jails.  The 2012 Annual Survey of Jails is the 25th such survey in a series begun in 1982.  The ASJ supplies data on characteristics of jails such as admissions and releases,
growth in the number of jail facilities, changes in their rated capacities and level
of occupancy, growth in the population supervised in the community, changes in methods
of community supervision, and crowding issues.  The ASJ
also provides information on changes in the demographics of the jail population,
supervision status of persons held, and a count of non-citizens in custody.
Starting in 2010, BJS enhanced the ASJ survey instruments to address topics on the number of convicted inmates that are unsentenced or sentenced and the number of unconvicted inmates awaiting trial/arraignment, or transfers/holds for other authorities. In order to reduce respondent burden, the ASJ no longer collects data on conviction status by sex.  Also new to the survey, data are collected on jails' operational capacity and design capacity.  Incorporating enhanced capacity measurements enables BJS to describe more accurately the variation and volatility of inmate bed space and crowding, especially as they relate to safety and security in jails.
To address more directly issues related to overcrowding and safety and security in jails, BJS started collecting data on staff and assaults against staff from the largest jails.  In the modifications to the ASJ, starting in 2010, 335 jail jurisdictions (370 respondents) included with certainty in the ASJ sample survey were asked to provide additional information (forms CJ-5D or CJ-5DA) on the flow of inmates going through jails and the distribution of time served, staff characteristics and assaults on staff resulting in death, and inmate misconduct.
The data presented in this study were collected in the Annual Survey of
Jails, 2012.  These data are used to track growth in the number of
jails and the capacities nationally, changes in the demographics of the
jail population and supervision status of persons held, the prevalence of
crowding issues, and a count of non-United States citizens within the jail
population.  The data are intended for a variety of users, including
federal and state agencies, local officials in conjunction with jail
administrators, researchers, planners, and the public.  The reference date
for the survey is June 29, 2012.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases -- Terminated, 1995 [United States]

The data contain records of defendants in federal criminal cases terminated in United States District Court during fiscal year 1995. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central System file. According to the EOUSA, the United States attorneys conduct approximately 95 percent of the prosecutions handled by the Department of Justice. The Central System data contain variables from the original EOUSA files as well as additional analysis variables, or "SAF" variables, that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security Number) were replaced with blanks, and the day portions of date fields were also sanitized in order to protect the identities of individuals. These data are part of a series designed by the Urban Institute (Washington, DC) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute.
