Inmate intake records, circa 1899-1953.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/768194524

The volumes include inmate register number, date received, sentence, county, and crime. If the inmate was no longer in the prison, the name is crossed off with a date and reason (ie., paroled, pardoned, deceased...). These books were updated and new volumes started every 3-7 years. When a new volume was started it appears the inmates who were still in the prison (as listed in the previous book) were entered first, followed by new inmates.
