Board of Correction Dashboards
Self-Injurious Behavior
The Board of Correction's Self-Injurious Behavior (SIB) Dashboard summarizes SIB incidents as reported by the Central Operations Desk (COD). Department of Correction (DOC) staff are trained to immediately notify their area supervisor upon observing or being informed of a person in custody (PIC) exhibiting SIB. Pursuant to DOC Directive 5000R-A, facilities are required to report these incidents to COD. These figures reflect incidents reported through that notification process.
In addition to reporting the number of incidents, the Board reports SIB rates per 1,000 people in custody for each facility. Rates are calculated using the monthly Average Daily Population (ADP) of each facility provided to the Board by DOC.
The dashboard is intended to promote transparency about trends in self-injurious behavior at NYC correctional facilities. Figures presented here are based solely on COD notifications received by the Board and may differ from figures reported elsewhere.
Daily Census of People in DOC Custody
The Board of Correction's Daily Census Dashboard provides timely information on the population housed in New York City Department of Correction facilities. The dashboard summarizes daily census data and allows users to examine the jail population by facility, legal status, age, and length of incarceration.
In addition to reporting the total number of people in custody, the dashboard displays the percentage of the population designated under the Brad H discharge planning program and the percentage identified as heat sensitive. These measures support the Board's oversight responsibilities by providing insight into the size and characteristics of the incarcerated population over time.
The dashboard is intended to promote transparency and inform policymakers, stakeholders, and the public about trends within the City's jail system.
Heat Monitoring
The Board conducted comprehensive heat monitoring in NYC jails during the Summer of 2024 to ensure the safety and well-being of people in custody. Data collection began on May 31 and continued through August 30, 2024.
As part of this effort, the Board launched a Heat Monitoring Dashboard and updated it every Monday during the assessment period. This near real-time monitoring of daily conditions allowed early identification and resolution of any issues. A final staff report was issued in December 2024.
