Annual Survey of Jails: Jurisdiction-Level Data, 1998
This collection provides annual data on jail populations
across the nation and examines the "spillover" on local jails
resulting from the dramatic growth in federal and state prison
populations. These data are used to track growth in the number of
jails and their capacities nationally, changes in the demographics of
the jail population (including sex, race, and adult or juvenile
status), supervision status of persons held, prevalence of crowding
issues, and a count of non-U.S. citizens within the jail population. A
special addendum to the 1998 survey included data on the prevalence
and results of drug testing and treatment in jails.
