Survey of Jails in Indian Country

OMB 1121-0364

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC) for a three-year period under OMB Control Number 1121-0364. BJS started the SJIC in 1998 to track changes in the demographic characteristics of the Indian country jail population as well as changes in the size of jail population, jail capacity and crowding, and the flow of inmates moving into and out of Indian country jails. These statistics are part of BJS’s core corrections statistics, as they contribute fundamentally to BJS’s mission of describing movements of persons through the criminal justice system. Indian country jails are administered by tribal authorities or the Bureau of Indian Affairs, while the county and city jails covered by the Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) are administered by local law enforcement authorities such as a sheriff or jail administrator. Together, the SJIC and ASJ produce annual national estimates on persons held in jails nationwide.

The latest form for Survey of Jails in Indian Country expires 2029-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202509-1121-002.
