Scope and Content Note

This volume contains summary information about parole applications that were denied by the Parole Committee.

Each entry lists the following information: name and case number of incarcerated individual; date requested for parole; date when eligible to reapply (entered only during 1860-1865); and committee determination. Committee determinations were entered and annotated as follows: deferred decision - usually either "referred to Board" or "to superintendent to examine" or "to superintendent with power to grant parole"; conditional deferral, such as "superintendent with power when grade is right"; declined with explanation, such as "declined on account of grade"; or declined without reason, usually "declined for present".
