Annual Survey of Jails: Jurisdiction-Level and Jail-Level Data, 1991
This collection provides annual data on jail populations
across the nation and examines the "spillover" effect on local jails
resulting from the dramatic growth in federal and state prison
populations. These data permit an assessment of the demands placed on
correctional resources and provide a comprehensive picture of the
adult correctional system and changes that occur within the system.
Information is available on the number of inmates by sex, race, adult
or juvenile status, reason being held, and cause of death. Facility
characteristics were collected regarding capacity, court orders,
conditions of confinement, and alternative programs.
