This series consists of paper records that were gathered as evidence by the Division of State Police in the aftermath of the Attica Correctional Facility uprising of September 9-13, 1971. State Police personnel tagged the documents as evidence for the investigation and eventual prosecution of acts considered to be criminal. Most of the documents had been in the possession of inmates prior to the retaking of the facility by state authorities.
