Universe: All known adult and juvenile facilities -- jails, confinement facilities, detention centers, and other correctional facilities in Indian country operated by tribal authorities or by the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), in 2010. The original mail-out universe for this survey was 86 facilities. Prior to the survey collection, 7 facilities were closed or non-operational or out of scope, resulting in a survey universe of 79 facilities. During the survey collection, BJS determined that 4 facilities were holding cells and were out-of-scope, resulting in a final universe of 75 Indian country jails. BJS received responses from all 75 facility administrators.
