Guard house book, 1927-1933.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122537365

This volume was used to record the disciplinary movement of inmates into and out of the institution's guard house. Inmates were confined in the guard house, in isolation, for periods typically ranging from less than twenty-four hours to several days. Each entry in the volume includes inmate consecutive number, inmate surname, date received in guard house, name of officer receiving inmate, date released from guard house, and name of physician visiting in accordance with State law. In some instances, additional remarks are recorded such as inmate sent "to hospital" or reduced "to 3rd grade," the latter indicating loss of privileges and temporary ineligibility for parole.
