Abstract:
The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3732), authorizes BJS to compile data on the operation of correctional facilities at the state and federal levels. This is the 2012 Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities (CSFACF) data collection, fielded every 5-7 years, and will be the eighth in a series. The CSFACF provides information about the characteristics of individual state- and federal-level correctional facilities.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The considerable decrease in burden from 5,100 hours in 2005 (the last time the CSFACF was fielded) to 550 burden hours is attributable to the changes in the proposed data collection. BJS has split the collection into two parts. The CJ-43B requests 10 data elements which were identified by staff at the departments of corrections as requiring little time to report. The 2005 CSFACF requested that respondents report 43 separate data elements, many of which required more time to research and record.
