These monthly reports to the Prison Commission give the county and name of operator of the various chain gangs followed by lists of the convicts showing: (1) county of conviction; (2) age; (3) race; (4) sex; (5) crime; (6) date received; (7) term of sentence; (8) date of discharge; (9) death, escape, recapture, pardon and casualties; (10) conduct; (11) offense for which punishment was meted out, and (12) giving the date and extent or nature of the punishment. Each report usually contains the signature of the gang captain, the chairman of the county board of commissioners and a notary public who all attest to the accuracy of the report. Spaces in which to record the location of the camp, the nearest railroad station and the name of the railroad are included, but not often utilized.
