Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC)
Collects detailed information on confinement facilities, detention centers, jails, and other facilities operated by tribal authorities or the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Information is gathered on inmate counts, movements, facility operations, and staff. In selected years (1998, 2004, 2007, and 2011), additional information was collected on facility programs and services, such as medical assessments and mental health screening procedures, inmate work assignments, counseling, and educational
programs. In 2020, a special addendum was added to the SJIC to measure the impact of COVID-19 on Indian country jails.
