Summary
The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) is the only data collection effort that provides anannual source of data on local jails and jail inmates. Data on the size of thejail population and selected inmate characteristics are obtained every five tosix years from the Census of Jails. In each of the years between the full censuses,a sample survey of jails is conducted to estimatebaseline characteristics of the nation's jails and inmates housed in these jails.The 2009 Annual Survey of Jails is the 22nd such survey in a series begun in 1982.The ASJ supplies data on characteristics of jails such as admissions and releases,growth in the number of jail facilities, changes in their rated capacities and levelof occupancy, growth in the population supervised in the community, changes in methodsof community supervision, and crowding issues. The ASJalso provides information on changes in the demographics of the jail population,supervision status of persons held, and a count of non-citizens in custody.The data presented in this study were collected in the Annual Survey ofJails, 2009. These data are used to track growth in the number ofjails and the capacities nationally, changes in the demographics of thejail population and supervision status of persons held, the prevalence ofcrowding issues, and a count of non-United States citizens within the jailpopulation. The data are intended for a variety of users, includingfederal and state agencies, local officials in conjunction with jailadministrators, researchers, planners, and the public. The reference datefor the survey is June 30, 2009. Cf.: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR29081.v1
