Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) (formerly, the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP)), is an annual data collection conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The MCI collection began in 2000 under the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-297). It is the only national statistical collection that obtains detailed information about deaths in adult correctional facilities. MCI collects data on persons dying in state prisons, local jails and in the process of arrest. Each collection is a separate subcollection, but each is under the umbrella of the MCI collection. This deals with the prison subcollection, which has a prison death file. The prison portion of Mortality in Correctional Institutions began in 2001 after the passage of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 in October of 2000. The prison component of MCI collects data on inmate deaths occurring in the 50 state departments of corrections while inmates are in the physical custody of prison officials.惩教机构死亡情况数据集（Mortality in Correctional Institutions, MCI，前身为羁押死亡报告计划（Deaths in Custody Reporting Program, DCRP））是由美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics, BJS）开展的年度数据采集项目。该项目于2000年依据《2000年羁押死亡报告法案》（公法第106-297号）正式启动，是目前唯一一套可获取成人惩教设施死亡详细信息的全国性统计采集项目。MCI采集的对象包括在州立监狱、地方看守所及逮捕过程中死亡的人员。每次采集均为独立子项目，但均隶属于MCI整体项目框架之下。本数据集聚焦于MCI的监狱子采集项目，该项目设有监狱死亡档案。MCI的监狱数据采集模块始于2001年，即2000年10月《2000年羁押死亡报告法案》通过后的次年。该模块采集的是囚犯处于监狱官员实际羁押期间，在全美50个州的州惩教部门设施内发生的囚犯死亡数据。
