The National Archives catalog marks the item "Use Restriction: Unrestricted."

The National Archives catalog titles this page “CAMPBELL, HARRY - Alcatraz Number 322 - Warden’s Notebook.” It is a Bureau of Prisons notebook form with an identification photograph at the upper right; the placard in the photograph reads “U.S. Penitentiary Alcatraz 322”. It belongs to the series Warden’s Notebook Pages (NAID 296686).
The typed entries, as printed: name “Harry Campbell,” No. 322, received Aug. 6, 1936 from Leavenworth, age 36, date of birth 1/1/00. Offense “Consp. to transport Kidnap Person,” dated May 12, 1936; sentence “Life”; district sentenced “Minn - St. Paul.” A stamp at the top reads “TRANSFERRED APR 28 1942” with a handwritten “USP Leav.” The “Reason for Transfer” box is staff opinion and is not repeated.
