responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Revisions of a currently approved
collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: The
Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ). The
collection includes the forms: Annual
Survey of Jails (ASJ), which includes the
regular form and the certainty
jurisdiction form; the Survey of Large
Jails (SLJ); and the Survey of Jails in
Indian Country (SJIC), which includes
the regular SJIC form and an addendum.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Form numbers include:
• Annual Survey of Jails: This
collection consists of four forms:
Æ CJ–5 and CJ–5A, the ASJ regular
forms: These forms go to jail
jurisdictions in the ASJ sample that are
not selected with certainty. The CJ–5
form goes to jail jurisdictions operated
by the county or city and the CJ–5A goes
to privately owned or operated
confinement facilities;
Æ CJ–5D and CJ–5DA, the ASJ
certainty jurisdiction forms: The forms
go to jail jurisdictions in the ASJ sample
that are selected with certainty. The CJ–
5D and CJ–5DA request additional
information about the distribution of
time served, staffing, and inmate
misconduct that are not requested on
the CJ–5 and CJ–5A. The CJ–5D goes to
jurisdictions operated by the county or
city; the CJ–5DA goes to confinement
facilities administered by two or more
governments and privately owned or
operated confinement facilities.
• The Survey of Large Jails (SLJ) has
one form, the CJ–5C. This form goes to
confinement facilities in jail
jurisdictions with an average daily
population (ADP) of 1,000 or more
inmates or a rated capacity of 1,000 beds
or more.
• Survey of Jails in Indian Country
(SJIC): This collection consists of two
forms, the CJ–5B (the SJIC regular form)
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:33 Mar 15, 2010
Jkt 220001
and the CJ–5B Addendum (a one-time
addendum to the SJIC). All respondents
receive both forms.
The applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection is the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, which is within the Office of
Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The affected public that will be
asked to respond include approximately
1,000 county, city, and Tribal jail
authorities (936 respondents to the ASJ
and 88 to the SJIC). As community
institutions that book an estimated 13
million inmates per year, local jails are
an integral part of the justice system,
operating at the front end (that is,
following arrest or referral) as well as
the back end (discharging inmates and
holding those sentenced to jail). Their
broad functions include handling
inmates who are awaiting trial or
sentencing, holding inmates for other
authorities, detaining inmates with
special needs such as mental health
holds or alcohol detoxifications,
transferring inmates to court
appearances and bringing them back to
detention, discharging inmates at the
behest of the court or other entities, and
holding inmates who have been
sentenced to terms in jail. The set of
collections in this package provides BJS
with the capacity to track and analyze
changes in the jail inmate population
that might signal changes in the kinds
of cases coming into or leaving the
criminal justice system, and to analyze
how the volatility of jail inmate
populations affects the workload of jails
and their capacities to provide services.
In combination with the SLJ, the ASJ
provides BJS with these capacities to
study local jails nationwide. The
parallel structure of the SJIC collection
(the regular form with the addendum)
provides BJS with this capacity for
Indian country jails.
In its entirety, this collection is the
only national effort devoted to
describing and understanding annual
changes in jail populations as well as
assessing programs and capacities to
provide services. The collection enables
BJS, other federal agencies, and state,
local, and Tribal corrections authorities
and administrators, as well as
legislators, researchers, and jail planners
to track growth in the number of jails
and their capacities nationally; as well
as, track changes in the demographics
and supervision status of jail population
and the prevalence of crowding.
Information collected in the certainty
jurisdiction form and survey
addendums provide critical data on jail
population movements and inmate

mental and medical health services and
other programs available to confined
inmates.
The forms and information content for
this collection are outlined next in the
following order: First, the components
of the Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ),
which include the CJ–5, CJ–5A, CJ–5D,
and CJ–5DA. Second, the Survey of
Large Jails (SLJ), which is a one-time
survey of large jails to obtain
supplementary information about jail
programs, which are described in the
CJ–5C. Third, the Survey of Jails in
Indian Country (SJIC), which has a
regular form to be administered
annually (CJ–5B) and a one-time
addendum on programs and practices
(CJ–5B Addendum).
The two components of the Annual
Survey of Jails include the CJ–5/5A and
CJ–5D/5DA forms. The CJ–5/5A forms
are to be administered to ASJ sample
elements that are selected with a
probability of less than 1. The CJ–5D/
5DA forms are to be administered to ASJ
sample elements selected with certainty.
CJ–5 and CJ–5A
For these forms, 561 respondents from
sampled county and city jails will be
asked to provide information for the
following categories:
(a) At midyear (last weekday in the
month of June), the number of inmates
confined in jail facilities including;
male and female adult and juvenile
inmates; persons under age 18 held as
adults; race categories; held for Federal
authorities, State prison authorities and
other local jail jurisdictions.
(b) At midyear, 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. The breakout into sentenced
and unsentenced inmates is newly
proposed for this collection.
(c) At midyear, the number of persons
under jail supervision who were not
U.S. citizens.
(d) Whether the jail facilities has a
weekend incarceration program prior to
midyear and the number of inmates
participating.

sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
CJ–5D and CJ–5DA
These forms will be administered to
the certainty jurisdictions in the ASJ
sample; in addition to the information
collected in the regular ASJ forms (the
CJ–5/5A), the 373 respondents that are
included with certainty in the ASJ
sample survey will be asked to provide
additional information 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. More specifically, these
include:
(a) The distribution of time served by
inmates discharged during the final
week of June, broken out by whether the
inmates were convicted or unconvicted.
(b) At midyear, the number of
correctional officers and other staff
employed by jail facilities;
(c) From July 1 of the previous year
to June 30 of the current collection year:

assaults (and counts) on correctional
officers and other staff and the number
of staff deaths as a result.
(d) From July 1 of the previous year
to June 30 of the current collection year:
the number of inmates, by category, who
were written up or found guilty of a rule
violation.
The Survey of Large Jails (SLJ), form
CJ–5C, is conceived of as a one-time
collection to be administered in 2011,
pending final OMB approval. The
survey complements the ASJ by
collecting detailed data from large jail
jurisdictions (those housing an average
of 1,000 or more inmates or a rated
capacity of 1,000 beds or more) on
mental health, medical, and substance
abuse treatment services.
CJ–5C (SLJ)
Information on mental and medical
health and substance abuse treatment
services issues will be requested. Based
upon the SLJ administered in 2004, the
following categories of information will
be requested. However, BJS is currently
undertaking efforts to revise this form to
capture more detailed information on
the processes used by jails to screen and
treat offenders. This effort is integrated
into a project that BJS has with the
National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS). As part of the NCHS project,
BJS and NCHS are convening meetings
of experts to provide facts and
information related to measuring

Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Revisions of a currently
approved collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ).
The collection includes the forms: Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ), which
includes the regular form and the certainty jurisdiction form; the
Survey of Large Jails (SLJ); and the Survey of Jails in Indian Country
(SJIC), which includes the regular SJIC form and an addendum.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form numbers include:
Annual Survey of Jails: This collection consists of four
forms:
[cir] CJ-5 and CJ-5A, the ASJ regular forms: These forms go to jail
jurisdictions in the ASJ sample that are not selected with certainty.
The CJ-5 form goes to jail jurisdictions operated by the county or city
and the CJ-5A goes to privately owned or operated confinement
facilities;
[cir] CJ-5D and CJ-5DA, the ASJ certainty jurisdiction forms: The
forms go to jail jurisdictions in the ASJ sample that are selected with
certainty. The CJ-5D and CJ-5DA request additional information about
the distribution of time served, staffing, and inmate misconduct that
are not requested on the CJ-5 and CJ-5A. The CJ-5D goes to
jurisdictions operated by the county or city; the CJ-5DA goes to
confinement facilities administered by two or more governments and
privately owned or operated confinement facilities.
The Survey of Large Jails (SLJ) has one form, the CJ-5C.
This form goes to confinement facilities in jail jurisdictions with an
average daily population (ADP) of 1,000 or more inmates or a rated
capacity of 1,000 beds or more.
Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC): This collection
consists of two forms, the CJ-5B (the SJIC regular form) and the CJ-5B
Addendum (a one-time addendum to the SJIC). All respondents receive
both forms.
The applicable component of the Department of Justice sponsoring
the collection is the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which is within the
Office of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The affected public that will be asked to
respond include approximately 1,000 county, city, and Tribal jail
authorities (936 respondents to the ASJ and 88 to the SJIC). As
community institutions that book an estimated 13 million inmates per
year, local jails are an integral part of the justice system, operating
at the front end (that is, following arrest or referral) as well as the
back end (discharging inmates and holding those sentenced to jail).
Their broad functions include handling inmates who are awaiting trial
or sentencing, holding inmates for other authorities, detaining inmates
with special needs such as mental health holds or alcohol
detoxifications, transferring inmates to court appearances and bringing
them back to detention, discharging inmates at the behest of the court
or other entities, and holding inmates who have been sentenced to terms
in jail. The set of collections in this package provides BJS with the
capacity to track and analyze changes in the jail inmate population
that might signal changes in the kinds of cases coming into or leaving
the criminal justice system, and to analyze how the volatility of jail
inmate populations affects the workload of jails and their capacities
to provide services. In combination with the SLJ, the ASJ provides BJS
with these capacities to study local jails nationwide. The parallel
structure of the SJIC collection (the regular form with the addendum)
provides BJS with this capacity for Indian country jails.
In its entirety, this collection is the only national effort
devoted to describing and understanding annual changes in jail
populations as well as assessing programs and capacities to provide
services. The collection enables BJS, other federal agencies, and
state, local, and Tribal corrections authorities and administrators, as
well as legislators, researchers, and jail planners to track growth in
the number of jails and their capacities nationally; as well as, track
changes in the demographics and supervision status of jail population
and the prevalence of crowding. Information collected in the certainty
jurisdiction form and survey addendums provide critical data on jail
population movements and inmate mental and medical health services and
other programs available to confined inmates.
The forms and information content for this collection are outlined
next in the following order: First, the components of the Annual Survey
of Jails (ASJ), which include the CJ-5, CJ-5A, CJ-5D, and CJ-5DA.
Second, the Survey of Large Jails (SLJ), which is a one-time survey of
large jails to obtain supplementary information about jail programs,
which are described in the CJ-5C. Third, the Survey of Jails in Indian
Country (SJIC), which has a regular form to be administered annually
(CJ-5B) and a one-time addendum on programs and practices (CJ-5B
Addendum).
The two components of the Annual Survey of Jails include the CJ-5/
5A and CJ-5D/5DA forms. The CJ-5/5A forms are to be administered to ASJ
sample elements that are selected with a probability of less than 1.
The CJ-5D/5DA forms are to be administered to ASJ sample elements
selected with certainty.
CJ-5 and CJ-5A
For these forms, 561 respondents from sampled county and city jails
will be asked to provide information for the following categories:
(a) At midyear (last weekday in the month of June), the number of
inmates confined in jail facilities including; male and female adult
and juvenile inmates; persons under age 18 held as adults; race
categories; held for Federal authorities, State prison authorities and
other local jail jurisdictions.
(b) At midyear, 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. The
breakout into sentenced and unsentenced inmates is newly proposed for
this collection.
(c) At midyear, the number of persons under jail supervision who
were not U.S. citizens.
(d) Whether the jail facilities has a weekend incarceration program
prior to midyear and the number of inmates participating.
(e) The number of new admissions into and final discharges from
jail facilities during the last week in June.
(f) The date and count for the greatest number of confined inmates
during the 30-day period in June.
(g) The average daily population of jail facilities from July 1 of
the previous year to June 30 of the current collection year.
(h) Jail capacity, measured three ways: rated capacity, operating
capacity, and design capacity. The information on
[[Page 12568]]
operating and design capacities are newly proposed for this collection.
(i) At midyear, the number of persons under jail supervision but
not confined (e.g., electronic monitoring, day reporting, etc.)
CJ-5D and CJ-5DA
These forms will be administered to the certainty jurisdictions in
the ASJ sample; in addition to the information collected in the regular
ASJ forms (the CJ-5/5A), the 373 respondents that are included with
certainty in the ASJ sample survey will be asked to provide additional
information 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. More specifically,
these include:
(a) The distribution of time served by inmates discharged during
the final week of June, broken out by whether the inmates were
convicted or unconvicted.
(b) At midyear, the number of correctional officers and other staff
employed by jail facilities;
(c) From July 1 of the previous year to June 30 of the current
collection year: the number of inmate-inflicted physical assaults (and
counts) on correctional officers and other staff and the number of
staff deaths as a result.
(d) From July 1 of the previous year to June 30 of the current
collection year: the number of inmates, by category, who were written
up or found guilty of a rule violation.
The Survey of Large Jails (SLJ), form CJ-5C, is conceived of as a
one-time collection to be administered in 2011, pending final OMB
approval. The survey complements the ASJ by collecting detailed data
from large jail jurisdictions (those housing an average of 1,000 or
more inmates or a rated capacity of 1,000 beds or more) on mental
health, medical, and substance abuse treatment services.
CJ-5C (SLJ)
Information on mental and medical health and substance abuse
treatment services issues will be requested. Based upon the SLJ
administered in 2004, the following categories of information will be
requested. However, BJS is currently undertaking efforts to revise this
form to capture more detailed information on the processes used by
jails to screen and treat offenders. This effort is integrated into a
project that BJS has with the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS). As part of the NCHS project, BJS and NCHS are convening
meetings of experts to provide facts and information related to
measuring services in jails, and based on the information obtained from
these meetings, BJS will revise the SLJ form and submit to OMB a
separate package for clearance of this form.
