This series contains: (1) correspondence, (2) requisitions and other fiscal records, (3) reference materials, (4) samples of institutional publications, (5) chaplain's evaluation and other reports, (6) education survey data, (7) brochures and pamphlets, (8) copies of forms employed by the Division and other government agencies, and (9) statistical data and other records which document the operation of the Training and Development Division. Impressive efforts were taken by this Division to provide inmates and staff members with opportunities to increase basic education, vocational and professional skills regardless of institution of incarceration. Only a fragment of what surely was a much larger file is to be found here. Although an attempt has been made to honor the provenance of the series, serious lacks in consistency in file labeling required some relabeling. Emphasis was placed on the use of institution names in instances when subjects were repeated many times. Often, however, institutions bore several different names and therefore one name was arbitrarily chosen for each. In all such instances, the alternative or alternatives are listed in parentheses in the alphabetical subject list which follows. For an incomplete collection of weekly activity and other reports sent to the Assistant Director from correctional institutions and other survey materials, see RGSGSERIES 21-7-32, Reports and Test Materials Files.
