VPRS 4844 Governor's Diaries

This series was created to record the daily activities of a prison governor. These activities can include details of incidents within the prison, prison muster details and appointments.It should also be noted that the senior prison officer on duty during the night shift is considered to be the acting Governor during the night shift. As a consequence of this the night diaries have also been retained permanently. There may also be an overlap of dates of the dairies.Researchers should note that the detail within each diary varies from governor to governor. Some governors write detailed entries, while others write only very brief entries.

本数据集系列旨在记录监狱典狱长的日常履职活动，其收录内容可涵盖监狱内部事件详情、监狱点名记录及人事任免事项。需特别说明的是，夜班在岗的高级狱警将在当班期间代理典狱长职务，因此夜班值班日志也已被永久留存。此外，各日志的日期范围可能存在重叠情况。研究人员需注意，每份日志的详实程度因典狱长个体差异而有所不同：部分典狱长会撰写详尽的记录条目，而另有部分仅会留下极为简要的标注。
