Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facility Census, 1982-1983

This is the seventh in a series of surveys conducted by the
Bureau of the Census. It contains information on state and local
public residential facilities operated by the juvenile justice system
during the fiscal year 1982. Each data record is classified into one
of six categories: (1) detention center, (2) shelter, (3) reception or
diagnostic center, (4) training school, (5) ranch, forestry camp, or
farm, and (6) halfway house or group home. Data include state, county,
and city identification, level of government responsible for the
facility, type of agency, agency identification, resident population
by sex, age range, detention status, and offense, and admissions and
departures of population. Also included in the data are average length
of stay, staffing expenditures, capacity of the facility, and programs
and services available.
