Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the 2020-22 Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) under OMB Control No. 1121-0094. The last ASJ was fielded in 2018 and collected midyear data. It was approved under the same OMB Control No. 1121-0094 (exp. date 01/31/2019), where it was bundled with the Mortality in Correctional Institutions-Jails (MCI, formerly the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program, new OMB Control No. 1121-0249) and Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC, new OMB Control No. 1121-0329). In 2017, the ASJ was separated from the MCI-Jails and SJIC, and became a stand-alone collection again. In 2019, BJS did not conduct the ASJ because the COJ was fielded in the same year.
