New York State Department of Correctional Services Parkside Correctional Facility Incarcerated Individual Case Files

W0043-13: Roughly numerical by DIN number.

This subseries of the general case files series, Series 14610, consists of files relating to women who were incarcerated in Parkside Correctional Facility. Case files describe in great detail the family and social background, arrest, confinement, and release/parole of incarcerated females. The content of the case files reflects the role of each institution.

Beginning with those released after 1956, only the following case files categories were transferred to the State Archives: incarcerated individuals who died in custody, those who committed sex offenses, people of certain minority ethnic groups, individuals who received life sentences, and a 2% sample of all incarcerated individuals who were released from any correctional facility. All other case files were destroyed.

W0043 is formally part of Series 14610, Department of Corrections and Community Supervision Inmate Case Files. To improve access, Series 14610 was divided into "W" subseries corresponding to individual correctional facilities.

Summary information on adult incarcerated individuals is disclosable under law. State Archives staff will review records containing probation, parole, medical, and juvenile criminal history data and disclose information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law and Personal Privacy Protection Law. The identity of victims of sex crimes is not disclosable. Unless a specific law forbids disclosure indefinitely, all records must be disclosed after 75 years.
