Scope and Content Note
This series consists of folders for approximately 75 inmates received at the Western Reformatory for Women from 1959 to 1966. While the folders are titled "Official Notice of Inmates Received," they primarily contain lists of inmate clothing and personal items.
The lists were written at the time of the inmate's admission and include a brief description of clothing or personal items worn or carried in, issued to the inmate by the institution, or placed in storage for the inmate. The lists include the inmate's name, number, birthdate and birthplace, marital status, religion, and race.
