Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of information collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
(2) The title of the Form/Collection:
2012–2013 Census of State and Federal
Adult Correctional Facilities.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Form Number: CJ–43A
Individual Facility List; CJ–43B:

Corrections authorities. Others:
Authorities from the Federal Bureau of
Prisons and administrators of privatelyoperated prison facilities. The Census of
State and Federal Correctional Facilities
obtains information on individual
facilities designed to house adults
sentenced to confinement by State,
Federal, or District of Columbia courts.
These facilities include prisons,
penitentiaries, and correctional
institutions; boot camps; prison farms;
reception, diagnostic, and classification
centers; road camps; forestry and
conservation camps; youthful offender
facilities (except in California);
vocational training facilities; prison
hospitals; drug and alcohol treatment
facilities; prerelease centers; halfway
houses; and State-operated local
detention facilities.
The CJ–43A, Facility Roster: an
estimated 71 respondents from state
departments of correction, the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, and corporations
operating private prisons will be
provided with a list of facilities in their
jurisdictions (CJ–43A). Respondents
will be asked to provide the information
requested in the CJ–43B (see below) for
each individual facility in their
jurisdiction. Respondents can opt to use
this listing to aid them in identifying
individual facilities in operation on
March 31, 2012, the anticipated survey
reference date, or they can opt to
provide the information based on a list
of facilities generated through their own
data systems. The CJ–43A is intended to
be used as an aid and is not intended
as an instrument to be filled out, so
there is no burden associated with this
instrument.
The CJ–43B collection instrument: an
estimated 71 respondents from state
departments of correction, the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, and corporations
operating private prisons will be asked
to provide basic facility information for
an estimated 2,200 adult correctional
facilities. The CJ–43B identifies the
elements to be collected for each
facility. These items include name and
location of the facility, sex of inmates
housed, physical security of the facility,
percentage of inmates regularly
permitted to leave the facility
unaccompanied, a one-day count of
inmates by sex, and future plans to
modify or close the facility. Based on
the preference of the respondent, these
data can be submitted via an electronic
datafile generated from the respondent’s
information management system or via
individual forms for each facility. The
Bureau of Justice Statistics will use
information obtained from the CJ–43B to
develop a sampling frame for future
inmate surveys as well as to respond to

queries from the U.S. Congress,
Executive Office of the President, the
U.S. Supreme Court, state officials,
international organizations, researchers,
students, the media, and others seeking
facility-level statistics.
The CJ–43: Respondents from state
departments of correction, the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, and corporations
operating private prisons will be asked
to provide detailed facility information
for an estimated 2,200 facilities in
operation. This collection instrument is
under development, but is expected to
include items regarding facility
characteristics, such as facility
functions, capacity, and court orders or
consent decrees under which facilities
are operating; population
characteristics, including special
populations housed; staff
characteristics; measures of facility
security; and facility programs. BJS
expects to consult with corrections
experts and professionals to determine
other topical items to be included in
this collection. These statistics will
provide a snapshot of adult correctional
institutions in the United States and
will be used to respond to queries from
administrators, legislators, researchers,
and planners to track changes in the
numbers and types of facilities in
operation, changes in staffing, security
issues, and programs/services available
to inmates in the state and federal
correctional systems. A supplemental
approval will be submitted to OMB
when the materials are ready for review.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: 2,200 responses at 15 minutes
each for the CJ–43B. The estimated time
is based on feedback from state and
federal corrections department staff. The
total burden estimate is based on the
conservative assumption that all
respondents would submit separate
forms for each facility; however, it is
expected that the majority of
respondents will choose to submit a
single electronic file generated from
their information management systems.
The CJ–43 is still in the planning stages.
A supplemental approval and burden
adjustment will be sought through OMB
when the materials are ready for review.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 550
annual total burden hours associated
with the collection.
