Abstract: Since 1972, BJS has
conducted the Survey of Inmates in
Local Jails (SILJ, OMB Number 1121–
0098) periodically to gather detailed
information on individual
characteristics of jail inmates. The
purposes of this omnibus survey are to
generate reliable, nationallyrepresentative estimates of the
characteristics of jail inmates in the
United States, track changes in the
characteristics of jail inmates over time,
conduct studies of jail inmates on
special topics, and identify policyrelevant issues related to crime and

corrections. This national survey will
profile jail inmates nationwide to
determine trends in criminal history,
substance abuse, mental health, and
medical problems of jail inmates, and
treatment they may have received for
problems, gun use and crime, inmate
misconduct, inmate admission fees, and
programs and activities inmates
participate in while confined in jail. The
data are used by a variety of
stakeholders, including the U.S.
Congress, Executive Office of the
President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, and others
interested in criminal justice statistics.
No other collection series provides these
data on the variety of topics that SILJ
covers. The data will be collected
through face-to-face personal interviews
with the inmates using ComputerAssisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI)
technology.

Abstract: The Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS) 2023 Census of Medical
Examiner and Coroner Offices (CMEC)
will provide comprehensive statistics
regarding the organizational structure,
operations, policies and procedures,
finances, and resources of the
approximately 2,300 medical examiner
and coroner (MEC) offices in 2023
nationwide. In the United States,
medicolegal death investigations are
provided by MEC offices whose purpose
is to determine the cause and manner of
death. As such, these offices are
valuable, unique sources of information
to many stakeholders, including the
federal government, local law
enforcement, the court system, the
public health community, and families.
The 2023 CMEC will generate an
enumeration of the number and type of
MEC offices operating in the United
States in 2023, staff at these offices,
budget and capital resources, workload,
policies and procedures regarding
casework, specialized death
investigations, records and evidence
retention, resources, and operations.
The 2023 CMEC will be the third
administration of the survey since 2004.
To provide more comprehensive
statistics on the nation’s medicolegal
death investigations outside of the
traditional MEC offices, the 2023 CMEC
