Deputy warden and deputy superintendent inmate supervision files, [ca. 1964-1974]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78332876

These files contain various types of records concerning inmate supervision. There are also a few "Protective Admission and Custody Assignment Reviews" for prisoners requesting protective custody within Clinton Prison. Each gives name and number of inmate, current offense date, criminal background, personal history background, and "information basis for protective admission and custody assignment." Some of the reviews have "Inmate Response" forms attached. The series also includes a "Miscellaneous Folder" which contains messages from prisoners to the Principal Keeper or Deputy Superintendent concerning potential disturbances within the prison and other subjects, with accompanying memoranda from prison employees. Also in this folder is a "shunken" or "ninja dart" of oriental origin, a multi-pointed metal disc apparently machined on a metal lathe, with a peace symbol engraved on the flat surface. (These were apparently intended for use as weapons).
