Since 1877 the Reformatory Prison for Women under successive names has had as its function the punishment and rehabilitation of female offenders. Discharge leave stub books (1888-1903) and Release stub books (1904-1913) were filled out by prison officials for those inmates whose early release by permit or ticket of leave (i.e., parole) they were recommending as authorized by St 1881, c 90 to the Commissioners of Prisons and their successors in 1901, the Board of Prison Commissioners.
