This series was created as a way of monitoring the prison population. Included for each entry are prisoner's name, county, date of escape, from where escaped, date of recapture, and a book and page number for prisoner's entry in State Convict Record (1888-1952), or County Convict Record (1931-1954). Occasionally the prisoner's sentence or identification number is listed. Each time a new volume was begun, those escapees not dead or recaptured were entered into the book first. Information in this series was generated by the Board of Inspectors of Convicts (1885-1893), Board of Managers of Convicts (1893-1895), Board of Inspectors of Convicts (1895-1919), Board of Control and Economy (1919-1923), Board of Convict Supervisors (1923), Board of Administration (1925-1939), and Dept. of Corrections and Industries (1939-1953).

4 volumes.
