The
Tennessee State Penitentiary was established in 1831.
Until
then offenders were held in local county jails.
This
listing of inmates can be found in ledger volume #
43 of those records.
These
records are housed at the State Library and Archives,
Group #25. The
ledger also includes the date entered into the Penitentiary,
the prisoner's birth date, and the discharge date.
