The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) recently
implemented a Supplemental Jail Profile Survey to collect data
from county sheriffs and chief probation officers on average
daily population, bookings, and releases related to the COVID-19
pandemic. The supplemental jail and juvenile detention profile
surveys are now available on the
BSCC website.
Each of the dashboards below includes details on how the data was
requested and collected.
The information does not include the number of COVID-19 cases in
local detention facilities. It does attempt to show how
populations have been affected by policies related to the virus,
specifically, those implemented to mitigate the potential
impact of COVID-19 (e.g., creating social distancing space,
necessary for quarantine, transfer for hospital care, inability
to transfer to another detention facility, or unavailability of
court proceedings).
