Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with changes, of
a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Annual Survey of Jails in Indian
Country (SJIC).
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: The form number is CJ-
5B: Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC). The applicable
component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS), in the Office of Justice Programs. The Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the Annual
Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC) for a three-year period.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Respondents will include approximately 80
confinement facilities, detention centers, and other correctional
facilities operated by tribal authorities or the Bureau of Indian
Affairs.
Abstract: BJS has conducted the SJIC since 1998 (excluding 2005 and
2006). The survey asks about the number of adults and juveniles held,
sex of inmates, conviction status, seriousness of inmates' offenses,
number of admissions and releases, number of inmate deaths, average
daily population, peak population, capacity of facility, and jail
staffing.
This collection is the only national effort devoted to describing
and understanding annual changes in the tribal jail population. The
collection enables BJS, tribal correctional authorities and
administrators, legislators, researchers, and jail planners to track
growth in the number of jails and their capacities nationally, as well
as to track changes in the demographics and supervision status of the
tribal jail population and the prevalence of crowding.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: BJS estimates
approximately 80 Indian country correctional facilities with a
respondent burden of about 105 minutes per facility to complete the
web-based survey form, about 4 minutes per facility to verify facility
operational status and point-of-contact, and an additional 10 minutes
for data quality follow-up validation for a total burden of 119 minutes
per facility.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: Annual burden is about 159 hours. Total burden
over three collection years is about 477 hours.

Constitution Square, 145 N Street NE, 4W-218, Washington, DC 20530.
