The Census of State and Federal
Adult Correctional Facilities (CCF) is
part of the larger Bureau of Justice
Statistics’ (BJS) portfolio of
establishment surveys that inform the
nation on the characteristics of adult
correctional facilities and persons
sentenced to state and federal prisons.
The CCF collects data at the facility
level. Data obtained are intended to
describe the characteristics of
confinement and community-based
adult correctional facilities that are (1)
operated by state and BOP authorities or
(2) operated by local authorities or
private entities under contract to state or
BOP authorities. The data collected
inform issues related to the operations
of facilities and the conditions of
confinement, including facility capacity
and crowding, safety and security
within prisons, staff workload, overall
facility function, programming, work
assignments, and special housing. All
data are submitted on a voluntary basis.
Deviating from the one form
administered in 2005, the 2019 CCF will
consist of two forms– one for
confinement facilities and one for
community-based facilities. Consistent
with the most recent iteration of the
CCF in 2005, BJS plans to collect the
following data on each confinement
facility eligible for the census with the
reference date of June 30, 2019:
• Type of authority operating facility
• Whether the facility is authorized to
house males, females, or both males and
females
• Physical-security level of the
facility
• Functions of the facility
• Whether or not the facility has a
designated geriatric or hospice unit
• Percentage of prisoners permitted to
leave the facility unaccompanied
• Rated or design capacity of the
facility
• Whether or not the facility operated
under a state or federal court order or
consent decree that limited the number
of prisoners it could house
• Whether or not the facility operated
under a state or federal court order or
consent decree for specific conditions of
confinement
• Year that state or federal court order
or consent decree took effect
• Number of prisoners on the
reference date
• Number of male and female
prisoners under the age of 18 on the
reference date
• Number of prisoners by racial
category on the reference date

sentence length (more than 1 year and
1 year or less) on the reference date
• Number of prisoners who were not
U.S. citizens on the reference date
• Number of prisoners housed in
protective custody, administrative

that occurred at the facility over a oneyear period
• Types of work assignments
available to prisoners on the reference
date
• Types of educational programs
available to prisoners on the reference
date
• Types of counseling or special
programs available to prisoners on the
reference date
BJS is proposing to add the following
items, all of which are likely available
from the same databases as existing data
elements and should pose minimal
additional burden to the respondents,
while enhancing BJS’s ability to
characterize the corrections system and
populations it serves:
• Whether the facility is
administratively linked to other
facilities and if they are, names of other
facilities
• Whether or not the facility has a
housing unit specifically designated for
veterans
• Number of prisoners being held in
restrictive housing on reference date

• Number of security staff on average
at facility by day shift, night shift, and
overnight shift
• Number of shared security staff
with other administratively-linked
facilities
• Number of prisoner assaults by
other prisoners resulting in serious
injury and without serious injury over a
one-year period
Finally, BJS is proposing to remove
the following items, based on high
burden, low utilization, duplication of
other BJS data collection efforts, and/or
low response rates in 2005:
• Year facility was constructed
• Plans to renovate or close the
facility during the next three years
• Net effect of planned changes in
terms of bed capacity of the facility
• Number of prisoners housed in a
geriatric unit on the reference date
• Number of confined prisoners
sentenced to death on the reference date
• Average daily population of male
and female prisoners over a one-year
period
• Per diem fees paid to the facility for
housing for federal, state, or local
authorities
• Number of male and female
administrators, clerical and
maintenance, educational, professional,
and technical staff employed by the
facility on the reference date
• Number of full-time and part-time
payroll staff by racial category on the
reference date
• Number of part-time security staff
by racial category on the reference date
• Number of facility staff deaths
resulting from assaults by prisoners for
a one-year period
• Number of disturbances by type
(major or other) that occurred at the
facility over a one-year period
• Number of prisoners at the facility
that had work assignments on the
reference date
• Whether the facility operates a work
release program, and if so, number of
prisoners participating in the program
on the reference date
As mentioned above, the CCF will
consist of two data collection
instruments. Above described the
confinement facility collection. The
community-based facility form is
consistent with the confinement form,
but the number of data elements
collected is reduced. The following will
be collected from each communitybased correctional facility eligible for
the census with the reference date of
June 30, 2019:
• Functions of the facility
• Percentage of prisoners regularly
permitted to leave the facility
unaccompanied

• Types of educational programs
available to prisoners on the reference

BJS uses the information gathered in
CCF in published reports and statistics.
The reports will be made available to
the U.S. Congress, Executive Office of
the President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, others interested in
criminal justice statistics, and the
general public via the BJS website.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: There are an estimated 451
respondents reporting for approximately
2,000 facilities—1,400 confinement and
600 community-based. It is estimated to
take 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete
each confinement facility census form
and 45 minutes for each communitybased correctional facility census form.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There is an estimated 4,413
total burden hours associated with this
collection, fewer than in 2005. The
4,413 includes the time associated for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering
necessary data, completing and
reviewing this form, and an additional
113 burden hours for data quality follow
up. While there is an increase of
approximately 300 facilities anticipated
to be in scope for the 2019 collection,
the decrease in burden hours is
attributed to the implementation of a
short form for the estimated 600
community-based facilities and the
decrease in the number of questions
being asked in the longer confinement
facility form.

Seventh Street NW, Washington, DC 20531 (email:
[email protected]; telephone: 202-307-5986).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of

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: Census of State and Federal
Adult Correctional Facilities.
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number for this
collection for confinement facilities is CJ-43A and for community-based
facilities CJ-43B. 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: State departments of corrections
(DOCs) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). Others: Various local
authorities and private entities for which primary respondents cannot
provide facility-level data.
The affected public consists of approximately 451 respondents,
including 51 central state DOC and BOP reporters and an estimated 400
reporters for locally- or privately-operated facilities primarily
housing prisoners for state or BOP authorities. BJS will attempt to
identify central reporters for private facilities operated by the same
company. If successful, the overall number of respondents will be
reduced.
The Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities (CCF)
is part of the larger Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) portfolio of
establishment surveys that inform the nation on the characteristics of
adult correctional facilities and persons sentenced to state and
federal prisons. The CCF collects data at the facility level. Data
obtained are intended to describe the characteristics of confinement
and community-based adult correctional facilities that are (1) operated
by state and BOP authorities or (2) operated by local authorities or
private entities under contract to state or BOP authorities. The data
collected inform issues related to the operations of facilities and the
conditions of confinement, including facility capacity and crowding,
safety and security within prisons, staff workload, overall facility
function, programming, work assignments, and special housing. All data
are submitted on a voluntary basis. Deviating from the one form
administered in 2005, the 2019 CCF will consist of two forms- one for
confinement facilities and one for community-based facilities.
Consistent with the most recent iteration of the CCF in 2005, BJS plans
to collect the following data on each confinement facility eligible for
the census with the reference date of June 30, 2019:
Type of authority operating facility
Whether the facility is authorized to house males,
females, or both males and females
Physical-security level of the facility
Functions of the facility
Whether or not the facility has a designated geriatric or
hospice unit
Percentage of prisoners permitted to leave the facility

BJS is proposing to add the following items, all of which are
likely available from the same databases as existing data elements and
should pose minimal additional burden to the respondents, while
enhancing BJS's ability to characterize the corrections system and
populations it serves:
Whether the facility is administratively linked to other
facilities and if they are, names of other facilities
Whether or not the facility has a housing unit
specifically designated for veterans
Number of prisoners being held in restrictive housing on
reference date
Number of security staff on average at facility by day
shift, night shift, and overnight shift
Number of shared security staff with other
administratively-linked facilities
Number of prisoner assaults by other prisoners resulting
in serious injury and without serious injury over a one-year period
Finally, BJS is proposing to remove the following items, based on
high burden, low utilization, duplication of other BJS data collection
efforts, and/or low response rates in 2005:
Year facility was constructed
Plans to renovate or close the facility during the next
three years
Net effect of planned changes in terms of bed capacity of
the facility
Number of prisoners housed in a geriatric unit on the
reference date
Number of confined prisoners sentenced to death on the
reference date
Average daily population of male and female prisoners over
a one-year period
Per diem fees paid to the facility for housing for
federal, state, or local authorities
Number of male and female administrators, clerical and
maintenance, educational, professional, and technical staff employed by
the facility on the reference date
Number of full-time and part-time payroll staff by racial
category on the reference date
Number of part-time security staff by racial category on
the reference date
Number of facility staff deaths resulting from assaults by
prisoners for a one-year period
Number of disturbances by type (major or other) that
occurred at the facility over a one-year period
Number of prisoners at the facility that had work
assignments on the reference date
Whether the facility operates a work release program, and
if so, number of prisoners participating in the program on the
reference date
As mentioned above, the CCF will consist of two data collection
instruments. Above described the confinement facility collection. The
community-based facility form is consistent with the confinement form,
but the number of data elements collected is reduced. The following
will be collected from each community-based correctional facility
eligible for the census with the reference date of June 30, 2019:
Functions of the facility
Percentage of prisoners regularly permitted to leave the
facility unaccompanied
Whether the facility is administratively linked to other
facilities and if they are, names of other facilities
Type of authority operating facility
Whether the facility is authorized to house males,
females, or both males and females
Number of prisoners on the reference date
Number of male and female prisoners under the age of 18 on
the reference date
Number of prisoners by racial category on the reference
date
Number of prisoners who were not U.S. citizens on the
reference date
Number of prisoners held for federal, state, local, and
tribal authorities on the reference date
Number of walkaways by prisoners that occurred at the
facility over a one-year period
Types of educational programs available to prisoners on
the reference date
Types of counseling or special programs available to
prisoners on the reference date
BJS uses the information gathered in CCF in published reports and
statistics. The reports will be made available to the U.S. Congress,
Executive Office of the President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, others interested in criminal justice statistics,
and the general public via the BJS website.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: There are an
estimated 451 respondents reporting for approximately 2,000
facilities--1,400 confinement and 600 community-based. It is estimated
to take 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete each confinement facility
census form and 45 minutes for each community-based correctional
facility census form.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There is an estimated 4,413 total burden hours
associated with this collection, fewer than in 2005. The 4,413 includes
the time associated for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering necessary data, completing and reviewing this form,
and an additional 113 burden hours for data quality follow up. While
there is an increase of approximately 300 facilities anticipated to be
in scope for the 2019 collection, the decrease in burden hours is
attributed to the implementation of a short form for the estimated 600
community-based facilities and the decrease in the number of questions
being asked in the longer confinement facility form.
