Scope and Content Note

This volume contains entries from February 1, 1923 to January 31, 1924. Reports are listed monthly on fines imposed on incarcerated individuals of an unidentified residential facility, probably Elmira Reformatory. Information is present for the following: consecutive number, name, class (1 or 2, probably refers to degree of infraction) and fines, and surname of officer reporting the offence.

Date and signatures of two officials appear at the end of each month's entries. The volume only occasionally specifies nature of offences (such as "tobacco," "crookedness," "assault," and "disobedience") for "class 2" offences. Nature of "class 1" offences is not given. Nature of fines or punishments is never specified.
