Scope and Content Note

This index was created to increase accessibility to the four volumes of female inmate case files. Information from the indexes in each of the four volumes was copied into this single volume, but only the pages for names beginning with the letters A-S have survived. The index provides volume number, name, and inmate number.

At the beginning of the listings for most letters there are a few names and addresses of men and women whose connection to the school is not indicated, although they might have been former inmates.
