| Comments: | All new admissions to custody are determined by the indictment/Superior Court Information (SCI) number(s) of the cases for which the inmate is committed. Does not include inmates housed for the New York City Department of Correction. This element is a subset of ADMISSION REASON- CURRENT (STATE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM). The term "Paper" is used by the New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) to refer to admissions/releases where the inmate is not actually physically admitted or released. For example: an inmate reaches his Conditional Release Date while awaiting admission to DOCS as a violator.
