This is an original intake document from the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge. The document was created when the convict was received at the prison. The document lists the prisoner as W.W. Dukeshire, who was convicted of "living with [and] upon the earnings of a Common Prostitute". Notice that the person filling out the intake document had misspelled the prisoner's last name. Handwritten across the two accompanying photos is the convict's name and inmate number: W.W. Duekshire/ 3467. On the Intake document, the name is spelled, "Dukeshire". Duekshire was 33 when he entered the prison on May 21st, 1911; He was sentenced to one year, with release date set at April 21st, 1912 "with good time earned". The bottom portion of the document shows two I.D. photos of Duekshire. The photo on the right shows him immediately prior to intake, still wearing street clothes, while the photo on the left shows him immediately after intake, with shaved head and wearing the striped inmate uniform. This is a fantastic historical Montana document. It shows good overall condition. The document measures 8 1/4" x 16 3/8".
