Summary:
This series consists of transcripts of one inmate's incoming correspondence. Since the institution's superintendent held the
originals; it is unlikely that the inmate received the letters. The letters which discuss his and other youths' activities
may have been used to help make a parole decision and/or to monitor the inmate's associations once on parole. Subjects include
crimes committed or planned and/or arrests of and legal proceedings against youths; parties; drinking; sexual encounters and
the inmate's chances of being released.
