Deaths in Custody Reporting Program: Local Jails, 2000 - 2013
The Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP) is an annual data collection
conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The DCRP began in 2000
under the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-297). It is the
only national statistical collection that obtains detailed information
about deaths in adult correctional facilities. The DCRP collects data on
persons dying in state prisons, local jails and in the process of
arrest. Each collection is a separate subcollection, but each is under the
umbrella of the DCRP collection. This deals with the local jails subcollection,
which has a local jail facilities death file.
The jails portion of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program began in 2000
after the passage of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 in October
of 2000. The jails component of the DCRP collects data on inmate deaths
occurring in local jail facilities while inmates are in
the physical custody of jail facility officials.
