Scope and Content Note

This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible website of the New York State Office of Probation and Correctional Alternatives, which was created within the State Division of Criminal Justice Services in June 2010, and its predecessor entity, the Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives. Several years after Probation and Correctional Alternatives was merged into the Division of Criminal Justice Services, its website was removed from the live Web and its content was integrated into the main website of the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
