VPRS 11510 Male Prisoner Registration Cards (Alphabetical Series)

The cards were created to provide a sentencing history and a physical description record of a prisoner that could be transferred between prisons.Typically each card would contain a photograph of the prisoner, a record of the prisoners remand, trial, any prior convictions and any appeals. It would also denote any changes in the prisoners classification (eg. transfer to another prison). If the prisoner was a migrant the card usually gives the date and name of the ship that the prisoner arrived in Victoria.Not all the cards are numbered, some of the prisoners may have only stayed overnight or been held in remand pending trial.

此类卡片旨在记录囚犯的判刑履历与身体特征档案，供跨监狱转移囚犯时流转使用。通常每张卡片会收录囚犯照片、还押候审记录、审判信息、既往定罪记录以及所有上诉情况，同时标注囚犯分级的任何变更（例如转监）。若囚犯为移民囚犯，卡片通常会记录其抵达维多利亚州所乘船舶的名称与抵境日期。并非所有卡片均带有编号，部分囚犯可能仅被短暂留宿一晚，或是处于还押候审待审阶段。
