Description
|
The file bop_private_covid_information_daily.csv contains daily counts of COVID-19 infections, recoveries and deaths among incarcerated persons within all, privately-run, prison facilities in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The data collection window begins on April 16th, 2020 and ends on July 8th, 2021 and occasionally prisons would not update their COVID-19 numbers during the data collection window. Note, private facilities did not report staff infection information.
This data can be merged (using date and facility name) with the bop_private_inmate_population_daily.csv to create daily rates of COVID-19 prevalence within private facilities (not incidence rates; see Wallace et al., 2021). Also, this data can be appended to the data from the file bop_covid_information_daily.csv to generate a complete file of all BOP facilities and COVID-19 prevalence rates among incarcerated persons.
Dates covered in this dataset range from 04/24/20 to 07/08/2021. Note that the BOP did not always update their data. There are 11 facilities in this data.
