    This might get you started - According to the American Correctional Association 2005-2007 National Jail and Adult Detention Directory there are 3,751 Jails and Detention Facilities.  A great website for jail statistics is the Bureau of Justice Statistics at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs Good luck with your research.
