The Data Liberation Project, a nonprofit that seeks to expand access to government datasets of public interest, has published a new dataset containing roughly 1.8 million complaints and appeal submissions that inmates in federal prisons filed from 2000-2024. The nonprofit obtained the data by filing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. For each filing, the dataset indicates when the agency received it, the case number, the subject matter of the complaint, the case status, and the reasons for rejection or closure of a complaint.
