| - The UCLA Law COVID Behind Bars Data Project is an initiative of the UCLA School of Law that tracks the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in American prisons, immigration detention centers, jails, and youth detention facilities. Using custom web-scraping programs that automatically collect time-series, facility-level data reported by government agencies, the Project collects and reports data including the numbers of cases, deaths, tests, and vaccination rates among both incarcerated people and staff in more than 1,700 carceral facilities from more than 100 online sources. The Project also collects and maintains unique datasets of facility populations, releases, data transparency, court decisions and legal filings, prison policies, and organizing efforts. Some or all of these data are available on the Project's website, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's tracker for COVID-19 in US Correctional and Detention Facilities, GitHub, Google Sheets, and via data visualizations posted on social media. Project staff also regularly produce commentary related to decarceration, vaccination, and carceral data transparency. (en)
