<<Department>>
Dear <<salutation>>,
Enclosed is a copy of the National Prisoner Statistics (NPS 1B) form for your 2019 yearend data. The Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS) wants to thank you for your past participation in NPS. The 2019 collection is the 93rd
year of continuous data collection for the NPS, which was authorized as a national data collection program by
Congress in 1926. The NPS data are widely used by practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and the general
public.
The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (42 USC 3732), authorizes collection of
these data. The Office of Management and Budget approved this collection (OMB Control No: 1121-0102;
Expiration Date: 06/30/2017). For more information, see
https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201403-1121-006.
Your participation is voluntary but we need your assistance to make the NPS data complete and accurate. BJS is
committed to disseminating accurate and timely statistics, and we plan to publish the Prisoners in 2019 bulletin in
September, 2020 as a final count of prison admissions, releases, and yearend population. For that reason, we
request that you complete and submit your form by February 28, 2020.
Abt Associates is again the BJS data collection agent for NPS-1B. The majority of NPS respondents are also
respondents to the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP). Abt Associates serves as data collection
agent for both the NPS and the NCRP.
We ask that you submit your NPS-1B data via the web, at nps.abtassociates.com. Login and password

Dear Contact,
Thank you for participating in the National Prisoner Statistics Program (NPS). The Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS) is getting ready release its annual Prisoners in 2019 bulletin at the end of
September 2020.
Attached are 8 draft tables using data on prisoners under your jurisdiction and in your custody
on December 31, 2019. We are sending you this draft before the public release to give you an
opportunity to verify the accuracy of your data. We have also attached a blank NPS form should
you need to refer back to BJS definitions for various measures. Please review these tables and
provide any revisions before July 15, 2020. If we do not hear from you by that time, we will
assume that your state’s statistics are correct and will proceed with publication.
The numbers contained in the tables are preliminary and may be revised. Please do not cite
data for any other jurisdictions prior to publication of the report.
On behalf of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, I thank you for providing these data to us. If you
have any questions about your data, please contact me at 202/616.3496 or
elizabeth.carson@usdoj.gov.
Sincerely,
