Abstract: The prison boundary feature class contains secure detention facilities. These facilities range in jurisdiction from federal(excluding military) to local governments. Polygon geometry is used to describe the extent of where the incarcerated population is located (fence lines or building footprints). This feature class's attribution describes many physical and social characteristics of detention facilities in the United States and some of its territories. The attribution for this feature class was populated by open source search methodologies of authoritative sources. Changes from the previous version include 80 records added, 132 closed, 30 reopened, and 363 removed.
Purpose: This feature class contains secure detention facilities for the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) database. (https://gii.dhs.gov/HIFLD)

Data Quality

Resource lineage:
Process step:
Description: Authoritative data sources are identified through open source research. That data is then acquired and transformed into a usable data format. The properly formatted data then goes through preprocessing steps that includes a geocoding operation to give spatial context to the data. After preprocessing, every record goes through a review process and each polygon is moved to a facility based on-entity location based on interpretation of the best available imagery and open source information. The VAL_DATE field indicates the date in which the review step took place.

Data quality report:
Quantitative attribute accuracy:
Measure produced by the test: No formal attribute accuracy test was conducted. Data from the authoritative sources (as identified in other sections of this metadata) is assumed to be correct and accurate. See also "Overview Description" in the "Entities and Attributes" metadata section.
Data quality result:
Data quality report:
Conceptual consistency:
Measure produced by the test: Data were extracted from sources (identified in the SOURCE field) and other open source websites to populate the attribute fields. For string and date data types, NOT AVAILABLE values denote missing data that was not present in the source data. For numeric data types, -999 denote missing data that was not present in the source data. During quality control, attributes were checked to ensure that they fell within the expected ranges or had expected/valid values. Text attribute values were checked for spelling and usage consistency. No topology tests were conducted. All records were verified to occur within the spatial domain of the feature class/shapefile.

Data quality report:
Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure produced by the test: None; all efforts are made to place the geographic representation of the facility on-entity using the best available imagery from a wide variety of sources. Users should read and understand the VAL_METHOD metadata as well as the Processing Steps.
