Records typically include the inmate's name, crime he or she was charged with, date, name of court in which the trial took place, name of the prison the inmate was being removed from, and name of the asylum to which he or she was sent.

Obviously I don't need these records - but I bet there will be some out there that do. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
