Other tables address the number of adult inmates held because of crowding at other facilities; inmate deaths by cause and region; jail employees by occupational category, full-time or part-time status, and region; and the number of inmates per employee by occupational category and size of facility. Trends and highlights indicated by the data are discussed in the narrative portion of the report. Other Bureau of Justice Statistics reports are listed, and ordering information is provided.
