Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities, 1995

This census is the fifth enumeration of state adult
correctional institutions and the second of federal institutions
sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and conducted by the
Bureau of the Census. Earlier censuses were completed in 1974 (ICPSR
7811), 1979 (ICPSR 7852), 1984 (ICPSR 8444), and 1990 (ICPSR 9908).
Unlike the previous censuses, all respondents in 1995 were sent the
same survey form. For each facility, information was provided on
physical security, age, functions, capacity, court orders for specific
conditions, one-day counts and average populations, race/ethnicity of
inmates, inmate work assignments, inmate deaths, special inmate
counts, assaults, and incidents caused by inmates.

本次普查是州级成人矫正机构的第五次普查，也是联邦机构的第二次普查，由司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics）赞助、人口普查局（Bureau of the Census）实施。此前的普查分别于1974年（ICPSR 7811）、1979年（ICPSR 7852）、1984年（ICPSR 8444）和1990年（ICPSR 9908）完成。与此前的普查不同，1995年所有受访者均收到相同的调查问卷。针对每个机构，收集的信息包括物理安全、建成年限、功能定位、收容容量、特定条件下的法院命令、单日在押人数及平均人口、囚犯种族/族裔构成、囚犯工作分配、囚犯死亡情况、特殊囚犯统计、袭击事件及囚犯引发的各类事件等。
