Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Reinstatement of a previously approved 

collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Census of Jails (COJ). 

3. Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

The COJ contains one form—CJ–3: 

Census of Jails. The applicable 

component within the Department of 

Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics 

(BJS), in the Office of Justice Programs. 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as the 

obligation to respond: The affected 

public that will be asked to respond to 

the COJ includes jail administrators and 

staff from approximately 2,900 city, 

county, regional, and private jails. The 

obligation to respond is voluntary. 

Abstract: Since 1970, BJS has 

conducted the Census of Jails (COJ, 

OMB Control No. 1121–0010) every 5– 

6 years to gather data on jail facilities 

and inmate populations. The most 

recent COJ was conducted in 2019 and 

collected data from around 2,900 U.S. 

local jail respondents, representing 

approximately 3,100 jail facilities. The 

COJ is BJS’s most comprehensive 

collection of jail data and serves as the 

sampling frame for BJS’s other jail 

surveys. In the years when the COJ is 

not fielded, BJS administers the Annual 

Survey of Jails (ASJ, OMB Control No. 

1121–0094) to one third of the local jails 

nationwide. However, the ASJ’s sample 

size is not sufficient to produce statelevel estimates. To address this gap, BJS 

proposes to replace the ASJ with an 

annual census starting in 2025. The 

change will ensure that policymakers, 

correctional administrators, and 

government officials have timely and 

relevant data for policy development, 

budget planning, and oversight. The 

2025 and 2026 COJ forms will be 

shorter, resembling the ASJ form in 

scope, with 16 items related to jail 

populations and facility characteristics. 

In 2024, the COJ will collect 

comprehensive data on jail population 

size and characteristics, such as one-day 

counts, demographics, conviction 

status, holds for federal and state prison 

authorities. It will also cover facility 

characteristics and jail programs. 

Notably, the 2024 COJ includes a special 

module on opioids use disorder 

screening and treatment which updates 

data first collected in 2019. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The total estimated number of 

respondents is 2,900 for each year of 

collection. 

It takes 150 minutes to complete the 

2024 COJ form. About 70% of the 

respondents (2,030) will be contacted 

for data quality follow-up and each 

follow-up will take 10 minutes. The 

total burden for the 2024 COJ is 7,588 

hours. The 2025 and 2026 COJ forms are 

shorter than the 2024 form and take 80 

minutes per response. The estimated 

time and number of respondents for 

data quality follow-up remain the same. 

In addition, it takes 5 minutes to verify 

jail status and point-of-contact per jail 

for the 2025 and 2026 COJ. The burden 

for the 2025 and 2026 COJ is 4,447 

hours for each collection. Jail 

verification takes 10 minutes per jail for 

the 2024 COJ. This burden is covered by 

BJS’s generic clearance agreement (OMB 

Control Number 1121–0339) and 

excluded from the current OMB 

application. 

6. An estimate of the total annual 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The average annual burden is 

5,494 hours, or 16,482 hours for three 

years of data collection. 

7. An estimate of the total annual cost 

burden associated with the collection, if 

applicable: The estimated cost is 

$534,016.80.
