INDIVIDUAL DATA
Documentation & Methodology

In 2019, the NYU Public Safety Lab began collecting daily individual-level jail records from more than 1,000 publicly available jail rosters in the United States as part of its Jail Data Initiative. This website provides dashboard reports on these records, aggregated to the facility/day, as well as access to individual jail rosters, bookings and associated court records.

To apply for access to individual-level records, please complete our Data Use Agreement in the Apply for Access section of the menu. For additional information, please contact us at questions@jaildatainitiative.org.
