These are records of infractions of the rules by officers or inmates, and of inmates' complaints.
The Correction Law required that a daily record be made of infractions, punishments, and complaints. The journal was kept by the assistant superintendent. It recorded the date; inmate number (if applicable); name; whether an officer or inmate; whether there were former offenses or complaints; the offense or complaint; action or penalty imposed; days lost; and compensation not earned for the month.
