Scope and Content Note
This series is a daily record of changes in the population of incarcerated individuals at the Elmira Reformatory from May 24, 1877 to September 30, 1883. For each day that a change occurs, the volume lists: date; name; consecutive number; and activity (received, transferred, discharged, paroled, pardoned, escaped, deceased, or returned).
At the end of each month, the register provides cumulative totals for the population. These include the total number of incarcerated individuals: received; presently in the population; paroled; transferred to psychiatric institution or state prison; pardoned; deceased; escaped; sentence suspended; discharged; or returned (arrested, voluntarily returned, etc.)
