This series contains Auburn Prison's general journal for the period June 1866 to December 1881 and September 1888 to September 1893. This general journal was the principal accounting record of original entry for the prison, listing all financial transactions in chronological order as they occurred. As each transaction occurred, an entry was made in the journal.
Entries cover all prison receipts and expenses such as salaries, repairs, supplies, rations, and disbursements to released inmates. Entries include date of transaction, individual or company being paid, and the amount of money received or paid.
