FY 2021 Local Jail Reporting Program (LJRP) Pilot Test

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking applications for funding for the Local Jail Reporting Program-Pilot Test (LJRP-Pilot) 2021. The award recipient will work with BJS over a period of 3 years to recruit 10 jails to provide individual-level administrative record data to BJS for research purposes. The pilot data collection will provide information on jail admissions and releases, demographic characteristics of inmates, charges and dispositions, and sentences, with a particular focus on pre-trial release and detention. This program furthers the Department's mission by increasing transparency, collaboration, and reporting of local jails.
