| Comments: | Explanation of Code 242 (Release - Erroneous Admission): An inmate accepted in error although there may be a valid reason for incarceration, a previous sentence imposed by another jurisdiction takes precedence. 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. |
