BJS data analysis tool
"*New, modern Corrections Statistical Analysis Tool (CSAT) with prisoners data now available [ [link removed] ]*"

The new CSAT-Prisoners is an interactive data visualization dashboard, which replaces and enhances the core functionality of the previous data tool. For the first time, the dashboard combines data from the National Corrections Reporting Program [ [link removed] ] (NCRP) and National Prisoner Statistics [ [link removed] ] (NPS) program. This dashboard provides data users central access to more comprehensive, in-depth, state-level data on persons in state prison, including data by age, sex, race or ethnicity, offense, sentence length, time served in prison, and type of admission and release. Additionally, data users can access preformatted frequently requested charts or generate custom statistics, figures, and maps on prison admissions, prison releases, and yearend prison populations for data between 1978 and 2019. The NPS and NCRP are BJS?s flagship data collections measuring the size and composition of state and federal prison populations on an annual basis. The two collections complement each other by obtaining aggregate and detailed individual-level information on prisoners, which is used to describe and compare the prison population over time.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released the 2014 National Survey of Tribal Court Systems (NSTCS) dataset through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data.

It covered a variety of complex topics, including tribal court administration and operations; prosecution, public defense, and civil legal services; pretrial, probation, and reentry programs and services; juvenile cases, domestic violence cases, and protection orders; enhanced sentencing authority; and information systems access.
