State Penitentiary Indexes, were found in a corner of the Saline County, AR courthouse. Submitted by Deb Robinson.
The books found are the Arkansas State Penitentiary Governor's books, covering the years of 1918 - 1970s, with several years missing. Some of the books are very detailed with information, while a few are not, and every county in the state is included.
Many of the records did not survive the moves throughout the years, so they may not exist. If anyone wants to contact the prison:
1800s - 1995 - - call either Gean Yelverton or Sheila Moses at the Arkansas Department of Correction, 1-870-267-6425. They will look for the file and if it exists, they will make copies at $.75 a page.
1995 - present - call Gail Ramsey at Central Records at Pine Bluff,
1-870-267-6684. The cost will be the same.
