Scope and Content Note
This series consists of 250 files for incarcerated individuals executed for capital crimes. These are not complete case files but administrative files pertinent to their actual executions. Each file typically contains identifying documents; correspondence; blotter records; notices of stays and respites of execution; and copies of court orders and other legal documents.
Files may also contain newspaper clippings about the criminal offense, trial, and subsequent execution and carbon copies of the incarcerated individual's social and criminal history narratives. Almost all case files document executions carried out by electrocution at Sing Sing Prison; scattered files relate to those who were executed in other states.
Related Material

Custodial History
These records were created for administrative purposes by the Commissioner's Office of the Department of Correction.

State Archives staff will review records containing probation, parole, medical, and juvenile criminal history data and disclose information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law and Personal Privacy Protection Law. The identity of victims of sex crimes is not disclosable. Unless a specific law forbids disclosure indefinitely, all records must be disclosed after 75 years.
