Manual for developing prisoners case records, 1939.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82637609

The series consists of a copy of a manual for developing case records of prisoners confined in state prisons or reformatories. The manual was prepared by the Works Projects Administration as part of a technical series of federal guidelines for improving prisoner records in state correctional institutions. This is apparently a copy sent to the Department of Correction. Projects to upgrade recordkeeping were recommended to meet the need for better classification of prisoners. Improved data and administration of information about prisoners would allow for better appraisal for treatment programs and parole decisions.
