-List of prisoners at Gratiot Street Prison from NARA M416 rolls 90-93 and M598 roll 72

• THe women listed below are transcribed from Provost Marshal ledger rolls from Gratiot Street Prison. Gratiot Street Prison included - administratively - Myrtle Street Prison and several other buildings in the city. A building directly across 8th street from Gratiot was used as a women's prison. A large percentage of these women, however, were held in the main Gratiot building in various areas, the primary of which was the lower round room in the central tower structure. Women are not distinguished from men among the ledger lists other than by name. Most severe punishment for women was usually banishment, however a few were sent to the penitentiary in Jefferson City for extended confinement, or to the prison at Alton, Ill. The women often had children with them with at least one carrying a small baby. Male names in the list are children.

• Following names are all listed in a letter dated October 4, 1864 from the Office of the Provost Marshal General, St. Louis, Department of the Missouri:

• The following prisoners, women and children, will be committed for safe keeping in one of the buildings adjoining the Gratiot Str. Mil. Prison at the request of Col. J. H. Baker, Commanding Post.

• [signed] Joseph Darr, Provost Marshal General
