Many of the files contain additional information (added to the file later) such as the Classification Committee's decision; reports from Psychology Units of regional gaols sent prior to parole, visiting psychiatrists' reports and Psychology Unit records of earlier convictions.The files are arranged alphabetically. (14/2616-806). 191 boxes. Note: This description is extracted from Concise Guide to the State Archives of New South Wales, 3rd Edition 2000.
