State Prison Prisoner card name index, 1896-2002.

This series contains index cards that provide information on inmates of the Utah State Prison. They are primarily used to identify a unique prisoner identification number that can then be used to access other records related to an inmate. There are three distinct index card types that comprise this series.

Information on the first set of prisoner index cards (boxes 1-5) include: prisoner name, known aliases, and prisoner number.

The second set of prisoner index cards are Inmate Intake Cards (boxes 6-34). Information on these index cards includes: name, place of birth, prisoner number, date of birth, crime committed, sentencing date, length of sentence, date the sentence was received, nationality, marital status, presiding judge, county, release date. Other personal identifying information on these cards includes a description of a prisoners height, weight, hair color, eye complexion, build, marks, scars, and Social Security number. In some cases a Federal Bureau of Investigation number and/or a State Identification Number appear on the card as well.

The third set of prisoner index cards are Inmate Information Cards that include: prisoner name, date of birth, and prisoner number.
