As the SAA that receives Byrne JAG funding for the State of Indiana, the Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) within the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) has been collecting DCRA data since the last quarter of 2019. Once ICJI collects the DCRA data, the data is then reported to the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). DCRA requires state and federal law enforcement agencies to report certain information regarding the death of any person occurring while in custody. “In Custody” is defined as the death of “any person who is detained, under arrest, in the process of being arrested, is en route to being incarcerated, or is incarcerated at a municipal or county jail, state prison, state-run-boot camp prison, boot camp prison that is contracted out by the state, any state or local contract facility, or other local or state correctional facility (including any juvenile facility).” Relevant data that is not directly reported to ICJI by agencies is gathered via media sources.
