I received the information from my query to the CA State Archives today.
It only took 2 weeks for them to process my request and return the info to
me. What I received was a copy of the index page, listing 10 persons, from
the book they log the prisoners into the prison. The book is chronological
by date and the page runs from July 19, 1911, to July 24, 1911. The
information on each person listed is as follows:

Name and Number - Nativity- Crime - When Received - Term of Sentence-
County Sent From - Age - Occupation - Height-Complexion - Color Eyes-

Color Hair - Remarks - plus some notes

KEY
Dis = Discharged Res = Restored N = Notes ? = unreadable word

Though the person I am looking for was not the one listed, this appears
to be a very valuable tool for researchers if you think your person was in
the CA Prison System in the earlier part of the 1900s. If any on the list
makes a connection with the above names I would gladly forward you a copy of
the page.

My next step will be to check on old records in San Francisco to see if
his fingerprints were entered into the system from there.
