OTHER NOTES: 1) This function applies solely to Federal and state government expenditures; report any related local expenditures and all employment data at Other Corrections, code 05. (2) Include only facilities operated by the government concerned. (3) Previous definitions said to exclude jails holding persons awaiting trial or serving short-term sentences and to report them as a police protection activity. The definition stated here is not a revision but recognition that those very types of facilities are the primary function of local jails and have always been classified as a correctional activity.
