New York (State). Board of Inspectors.
Revised Statutes of 1829 stated that Auburn Prison would be under the direction of five inspectors. The Constitution of 1846 provided for an election of a three-member Board of Inspectors of state prisons, having supervisory authority over Auburn as well as other state prisons. Among the duties of the board was appointment and removal of all prison officers.
In November 1877, a consitutional amendment created the Office of Superintendent of Prisons and abolished the system of supervision of state prisons by elected prison inspectors.
