Abstract: The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (34 U.S.C. 10132), authorizes BJS to compile data on the operation of correctional facilities at the state and federal levels. This is the 2019 Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities (CCF) data collection, fielded every 5-7 years, and will be the ninth in a series. The CCF provides information about the characteristics of individual state- and federal-level correctional facilities.

Short Statement: The total estimated time burden of the 2019 CCF is 4,413 hours. This is down 687 hours from the 2005 CCF, which was the last full census conducted by BJS. While there has been an increase in the estimated number of facilities in scope for the collection from 1,700 in 2005 to 2,000 in 2019, there is a reduction in burden. This change is attributed to the implementation of a short form for the estimated 600 community-based facilities and the decrease in the number of questions being asked in the longer confinement facility form. Additionally, the estimated burden hours for the 2019 CCF is an increase from the 550 burden hours estimate for the 2012 CCF. This increase is due to the fact that the 2012 CCF was a modified collection in which only 10 data elements were collected.
