Abstract: The Deaths in Custody data collections will assess the nature of deaths in the criminal justice system. The series provides the only national data for local jails, State prisons, as well as deaths that occur in the process of arrrest by state and local law enforcement agencies. A revision to this collection is requested to the 2013 DCRP Annual Summary Form (ASF) to include additional critical items to obtain an updated and more complete sampling frame for jails. This frame is needed for drawing the samples for the Annual Survey of Jails, Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) related data collections, and other BJS jail inmate surveys. This one-time questionnaire expansion will apply only to jails and will replace the 2013 ASF on Jail Inmates forms (currently form 9A and 10A). The questionnaire will be used in lieu of the lengthier Census of Jails.
