Survey of Jail Inmates, 1978
In February of 1978, locally operated jails were surveyed on
a national scale. Of the more than 158,000 persons who were estimated
to be held in these jails at that time, a sample of 5,247 inmates was
drawn. Information was gathered regarding type of facility,
availability of health care in the facility, personal and educational
backgrounds, reasons for incarceration, sentencing, numbers of
offenses, and inmate drug use.
