Indenture stub books, 1886-1926.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122405491

Since 1877 the Reformatory Prison for Women under successive names has had as its function the punishment and rehabilitation of female offenders. Legislation beginning with St 1879 c 229 provided for qualifying female prisoners to be indentured out in domestic service. Indenture stub books contain the perforated stubs of indenture forms sent to the Commissioners of Prisons and their successors (the Board of Prison Commissioners, Massachusetts Bureau of Prisons, and Department of Correction) by reformatory officials to record information about indentures that had been arranged for inmates.
