Rights: A catalog description of a Bureau of Prisons inmate case file (Record Group 129), a United States government record, public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105. The catalog marks the file unit use and access "Unrestricted"; the parent series (NAID 622809) is marked "Restricted - Possibly" for copyright (newspaper clippings) and privacy, so the contents of a file need a page-by-page check.

The catalog title is “GARDNER, ROY GEORGE - Alcatraz Number 110.” The file unit belongs to the series Comprehensive Case Files of Former Inmates Incarcerated at U.S. Penitentiary, Alcatraz, California, in the Records of the Bureau of Prisons at the National Archives at San Francisco. The catalog gives the size as “ca. 1,500 pp.” and lists no digitized pages, so the pages themselves have not been read for this archive; the page count is NARA’s estimate.

The catalog description gives these fields: offense “POSTAL LAWS: ROBBERY OF MAILS (TWO COUNTS)”; received at Alcatraz 09/04/1934; transferred 08/08/1936 to US Penitentiary, Leavenworth. Those are the catalog’s entries, not readings of the file.
