Clearance for the Mortality in Correctional Insitutions collection is granted for 2 years from approval date. BJS will assess the overlap and quality of the data once BJA begins its collection of prison and jail deaths in 2020, and the need for BJS to continue MCI, revise the collection, or discontinue it in its entirety. This decision will be based on an assessment of the quality and completeness of the data collected by BJA, including whether BJA central state respondents are able to obtain sufficient participation from local jails on a quarterly basis.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics requests a new clearance for the Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) data collection, formerly known as the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP). The current MCI-State Prisons collection is approved under OMB Control Number 1121-0249, which expires March 31, 2019. BJS proposes combining the MCI-State Prisons collection with the MCI-Jails collection, currently approved by OMB under control number 1121-0094 (expiration January 31, 2019). MCI collects data on prisoners and jail inmates who died while in the physical custody of a state prison or local jail.

The total burden of hours associated with the prison data collection is 1,898 hours, with an average burden of 38 hours per year across the 50 state prison respondents. This is an increase in burden from the 2016 MCI clearance package, due to an increase in the number of deaths reported. The total burden of hours associated with the local jail data collection is 1,925 hours, with an average burden of 39 minutes per year across the 3,000 local jail respondents. This is an increase in burden from the 2016 MCI-Jails clearance package (OMB control number 1121-0094), due to an increase in the number of deaths reported and in the number of local jail respondents who will need to be contacted for data quality follow-up, based on recent years’ data collections. Combined State Prison/Local Jail Burden estimate. The total burden estimate for MCI across all 3,050 state prisons and local jails is 3,823 hours per year.
