Jail populations continue to be under-evaluated and under-researched. While there is a plethora of research on correctional incarcerated populations, there is a need to better assess jail populations as more people interact with this incarcerated institution than any other carceral facility. To evaluate long-term booking rates in Washington, the Washington Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) applied for and received the 2021 State Justice Statistics (SJS) grant from Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Under this grant from BJS, the SAC will draw on data from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC)’s Jail Booking and Reporting System (JBRS) to evaluate the evaluate the racial and sex similarities and differences among individuals booked in jail.
