Inmate summary data card files, [ca. 1893-1931]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77658765

The series consists of several card files which together comprise a "General Record" of women received at the Albion State Training School from 1893 through 1923, and confined during the period when the institution functioned as a reformatory (to 1931). The inmates were primarily teenagers (13-17) when they were received. Included are four complete alphabetical sets (A-Z), two of which have substantially more cards than the others; one complete set apparently pertaining solely to absolute discharges; and one complete set indexing some inmate names by county. The relationship among the various file sets is unclear. There is no easily discernable overlap, except for names listed in the discharge file (which may sometimes, but not always, appear in one of the larger summary records sets).
