Detailed Description
Scope and Content Note
This subseries of the general inmate case files series, Series 14610, consists of inmate case files relating to men who were incarcerated in Cape Vincent Correctional Facility. Inmate case files describe in great detail the family and social background, arrest, confinement, and release/parole of inmates. The content of the case files reflects the role of each institution.
Beginning with inmates released after 1956, only the following case files categories were transferred to the State Archives: inmates who died in custody, sex offenders, inmates of certain minority ethnic groups, inmates who received life sentences, and a 2% sample of all inmates who were released from any correctional facility. All other case files were destroyed.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
