"This page contains the name index to the Nevada State Prison Inmate Case files in
the State Archives, dating from 1863 to 1972. Nineteenth century case files may contain
correspondence and records of the Board of Parole and Pardons Commissioners. Twentieth
century case files became more detailed after the creation of the Nevada State Police in
1908, who introduced the Bertillon system of physical description and photographs in 1909.
There are summaries of the crime, applications for parole or pardons, correspondence to
the Parole Board until the end of the sentence. After the creation of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (F.B.I.) in 1908, the files may contain information on arrest, conviction
and incarceration received from the F.B.I. There may also be personal correspondence
received by the inmate and inquiries about the inmate's criminal activity from out of
state law enforcement agencies. Beginning in the 1970s there are some health records and
psychological evaluatio!
