A communication from the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association (see Section 40 of Chapter 126 of the General Laws) submitting the aggregate data on the population of the Bristol County Correctional Facility for the third quarter of calendar year 2025

This bill is a procedural submission that provides the Massachusetts Sheriffs' Association with an official communication to submit quarterly jail population data for the Bristol County Correctional Facility. The document serves as a compliance report required by state law, detailing aggregate statistics on detainees without revealing any individual identifying information. It includes data points such as race, ethnicity, admission and release dates, and sentence lengths, which are shared with state officials and legislative committees to aid in oversight. The report also notes ongoing efforts to improve data collection by addressing gaps in information that currently originates from the Trial Court.
