BJS anticipates making one award to cover 27 months to identify appropriate respondents; conduct frame verification; and collect, process, analyze, and disseminate data from the CCF. Within this timeframe, there are several key project dates:
Goals
BJS views the CCF as the primary means to produce national- and state-level statistics describing adult correctional facility characteristics that complement population data obtained through other BJS data collections and periodically obtain a universe for sample selection of facilities for SPI. During the 27-month project, the recipient of funds will complete the CCF data collection and deliver high-quality data on facility operations, conditions of confinement, and inmate characteristics.
