This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register at 80 FR 9749, February 24,
2015, allowing for a 60 day comment
period.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted for an additional 30
days until June 8, 2015.

Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Survey of Prison Inmates, 2015–2016
(formerly named the Survey of Inmates
in State and Federal Facilities).
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: The form number of the
questionnaire is NPS–25. The applicable
component within the Department of
Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics
(Corrections Unit), in the Office of
Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals. Others:
State government and Federal
government. Affected public are prison
inmates age 18 or older held in adult
state or federal correctional facilities
and the adult state and federal
correctional facilities. The purposes of
this omnibus survey are to generate
reliable, nationally-representative
estimates of the characteristics of
prisoners in the United States, track
changes in the characteristics of
prisoners over time, conduct studies of
special populations of prisoners, and
identify policy-relevant changes in the
prison population. The survey will also
be used to produce subnational
estimates of prisoners within
jurisdictions that have the largest prison
populations (i.e. 100,000 or more) in the
nation. The 2015–2016 SPI survey
builds upon prior surveys and is
organized around the concepts of harm,
risk, and reentry. Specifically, the harms
that prisoners have perpetrated on
society as measured by the severity of
the offense, the incident characteristics
of the offense and criminal history; the
risk they pose for recidivism as
measured by harm elements and
additional risk factors such as ties to the

community and mainstream institutions
of social integration, such as pre-prison
employment within the labor market;
their challenges and expectations for
reentry back into the community as
measured by SPI through the extent of
substance abuse, mental health, and
medical problems of prisoners,
treatment they may have received for
problems, programs in which they
participated while in prison, and their
motivation (i.e., intrinsic or extrinsic) to
participate in programs.
In addition to collecting the survey
data, in an effort to minimize burden on
facilities and inmates and to conduct
future studies, inmates will be asked to
provide consent to link their 2015–2016
SPI survey data to their criminal history
records and any updates made to those
records over the next 10 years. The
administrative records will be used to
augment the survey data and to conduct
prospective recidivism studies of the
2015–2016 SPI sample of inmates who
are released from prison within three to
five years of completion of the survey.
Inmates will also be asked to provide
their Social Security number (SSN) to
link their survey data to records from
the Social Security Administration
(SSA). The goal of this effort is to
provide more detailed information
about the pre-prison earnings and
benefits of inmates without taking up
more of their time during the interview.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The 2015–2016 SPI consists of
a pretest and a national study. The goal
of the pretest is to test the functionality
of the Computer Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI) instrument prior to
fielding it on a national scale. The
pretest will include one state and one
federal correctional facility providing a
roster of inmates at 0.5 hours per facility
for a total of 1 hour; prison staff
escorting 60 inmates to and from
interview sites at 0.5 hours per inmate
for a total of 30 hours; and 60 inmates
responding to the questionnaire at 1.00
hours per interview for a total of 60
hours. The pretest will result in a total
expected burden of approximately 91
hours. For the SPI national study, a
maximum of 416 state and federal
correctional facilities will provide a
roster of inmates at 0.5 hours per facility
for a total of 208 hours; prison staff will
escort a maximum of 33,200 inmates to
and from interview sites at 0.5 hours per
inmate for a total of 16,600 hours; a
maximum of 33,200 inmates will
respond to the questionnaire at 1.00
hours per interview for a total of 33,200
hours; and a maximum of 50 state
departments of corrections and the

Federal Bureau of Prisoners will provide
post-survey follow-up information at
0.25 hours per jurisdiction for a total of
13 hours. The SPI national study will
result in an expected maximum burden
of approximately 50,021 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated total public
burden is 50,112 annual hours.
