Above are four image icons based on some old photos from retired Assistant Deputy Warden William Mendoza's scrapbook which he generously scanned and sent as email attachments to the New York Correction History Society (NYCHS) website to share with other NYC DOCers, current and retired, as well as with other visitors to www.correctionhistory.org

With each photo he included as commentary his recollections about the picture, the names of people in the photo, when it was taken and the occasion.

But he pleads that the passage of years has left gaps in his recall of this or that photo's particulars.

He invites those who have information that would fill those gaps to email us the additional details at: nychs@nyc.rr.com
