BJS releases 2022 statistics on persons held in Indian country jails [ [link removed] ]

A new BJS report, "Jails in Indian Country, 2022", provides statistics from BJS?s Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country on the demographic characteristics, most serious offense, and conviction status of persons held in Indian country jails. It also describes facility characteristics (e.g., capacity and staffing) and trends in admissions and overall jail population.

A total of 2,250 persons were held in 80 Indian country jails at midyear 2022, a 3% increase from the 2,180 persons held in 80 facilities at midyear 2021. This marks the second consecutive annual increase in the midyear jail population since it peaked in 2019 (at 2,890 persons) and declined rapidly in 2020 (to 2,020 persons) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BJS data collection
Mortality in Correctional Institutions: ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes for Natural Deaths Occurring in State Prison or Local Jail Custody, 2000?2019 data collection [ [link removed] ]

BJS has released new data from the Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) data collection through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). The new data are archived at the restricted-use level, meaning they will be more widely available to researchers for use in public health and criminal justice studies compared to the original MCI data which are archived in the NACJD physical enclave.

BJS constructed the new dataset to allow adjustments for demographic differences between incarcerated and non-incarcerated populations so direct comparisons in mortality rates can be made. The data consist of one record for each death in local jails from 2000 to 2019 and state prisons from 2001 to 2019, and they contain up to five standard medical diagnosis codes for the cause of death. Additional variables include sex, race/Hispanic origin, recoded age at death, state and year of death, recoded time served since admission to prison or jail, and general information on medical treatment provided around the time of death.
