Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities (CSFACF)
Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities (CSFACF)
(Solicitation)
The Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities (CSFACF), first fielded in
1974, is
part of the larger BJS portfolio of establishment surveys that inform the nation on
the
characteristics of adult correctional facilities and persons sentenced to state and
federal prisons. BJS’s National Prisoner Statistics Program (NPS) collects aggregate
counts of male and female custody and jurisdictional prison populations on December
31
each year. Through the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP), BJS collects
individual-level data on prisoners entering or leaving the custody of state prison
systems. While NPS and NCRP describe prisoners and their characteristics, the CSFACF
collects corrections data at the facility level. Data obtained are intended to
describe
the characteristics of community-based and confinement adult correctional facilities
operated by public authorities and private contractors and allow BJS to describe the
conditions in which this population is being held. The information collected informs
BJS on issues such as capacity and crowding, conditions of confinement, workload,
facility function, including provision of medical and mental health care, safety and
security, and inmate reentry.
Applicants must register with Grants.gov prior to submitting an application. All applications are due by 11:59 p.m. eastern time on July 17, 2017.
