Some column heads are unusual by to-day's standards, at least their wording is. ‘Color’ instead
of
race, ‘Parents’ instead of next-of-kin,
‘Social Relations’ instead of marital status. ‘Habits
of Life’ seemed focused on destructive life style issues, principally
alcohol abuse. Most were
put down as ‘bad’ or ‘intemperate,’ many as ‘good,’ only
a few as ‘fair.’ The book had no addresses for in-mates or parents.
Such contact data must have been in arrest records.
