The DCRP began in 2000\r\nunder the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-297). It is the\r\nonly national statistical collection that obtains detailed information\r\nabout deaths in adult correctional facilities. The DCRP collects data on\r\npersons dying in state prisons, local jails and in the process of\r\narrest. Each collection is a separate subcollection, but each is under the\r\numbrella of the DCRP collection. This collection deals with the jail subcollection, which includes a jail populations file.\r\nThe jail portion of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program began in 2000\r\nafter the passage of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 in October\r\nof 2000. The original law lapsed at year-end 2006, but BJS continued to collect the data on a voluntary basis until the reauthorization of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act in December of 2014. The jail component of the DCRP collects data on the death of any inmate in their custody, even if the inmate was being held for another jurisdiction, such as the state department of corrections, another state or county, or the federal government. Jail deaths include the death of any inmate sent outside the jail facility for medical, mental health or substance abuse treatment services, or for work-release programs. Deaths that occur while an inmate is in transit to or from the jail facility are included. Deaths of jail inmates on temporary furloughs or who escaped from the jail facility are excluded.\r\nThis longitudinal dataset includes year-end collections of population and admissions data from all jail jurisdictions nationwide annually, from 2000 to 2013. These files do not include death data.
