| Methodology | |
The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC) includes all Indian country correctional facilities operated by tribal authorities or the U.S. Department of the Interior's BIA. The survey is designed to describe all adult and juvenile jail facilities and detention centers in Indian country. For this collection, Indian country includes reservations, pueblos, rancherias, and other appropriate areas (18 U.S.C. § 1151).
BJS annually updates its existing roster of jails in Indian country with faxed questionnaires, follow-up phone calls, and facsimiles from administrators of Indian country jails. The survey universe and response rates have changed over time. A number of facilities have closed and new facilities have been constructed. See table 8 in the report, Jails in Indian Country, 2015, for the Indian country jail survey universe and responses rates for 2004 and from 2007 to 2013. For methodologies prior to the 2004 SJIC, see the Jails in Indian Country series.
| Changes Over Time | |
Since beginning in 1998, the SJIC survey instrument has expanded to gather data on inmate admissions offenses, population measurements (e.g., average daily population and offense categories), and inmate health services and facility programs.
