Scope and Content Note

This series consists of a one-volume journal containing information on miscellaneous Clinton Prison financial accounts from 1870 to 1875. The bulk of the information apparently relates to profit and loss in the prison's production of iron and nails.

The majority of the volume consists of a listing of approximately 150 accounts dated May 20, 1871 containing the name of an individual, the amount of the account, and a shorthand description of the account. These accounts apparently were considered a financial loss to the prison. The journal also includes a summary of expenses and sales in iron and nail production, 1870-1875.
