Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) Series (Formerly Deaths In Custody Reporting Program (DCRP))
The Mortality In Correctional Institutions (MCI) data collection (formerly Deaths in
Custody Reporting Program (DCRP)), collects quarterly inmate death
records from each of the nation's 50 state prison systems, 50 state
juvenile correctional authorities, and 3,095 local jails. In addition,
the program collects quarterly records of all deaths during the
process of arrest by each of the nation's 17,784 state and local law
enforcement agencies. These death records include information on the
deceased's personal characteristics (age, gender and race/ethnicity),
their criminal background (legal status, offense types, length of stay
in custody), and details of the death itself (the date, time,
location and cause of each death, as well as information on autopsies
and medical treatment provided for illnesses/diseases).
