Summary:
The series consists of a manual for developing case records of prisoners confined in state prisons or reformatories. The manual
was prepared by the Work Projects Administration as part of a technical series of federal guidelines for improving prisoner
records in state correctional institutions. Projects to upgrade recordkeeping were recommended to meet the need for better
classification of prisoners. Improved data and administration of information about prisoners would allow for better appraisal
for treatment programs and parole decisions.
