Scope and Content Note

This volume was used to record the disciplinary movement of incarcerated individuals into and out of the institution's guard house. These individuals were confined in the guard house, in isolation, for periods typically ranging from less than twenty-four hours to several days. Each entry in the volume includes consecutive number, the surname of the incarcerated individual, date received in guard house, name of receiving officer, date released from guard house, and name of physician visiting in accordance with State law. In some instances, additional remarks are recorded such as "sent to hospital" or reduced "to 3rd grade," the latter indicating loss of privileges and temporary ineligibility for parole.
