A real photographic criminal record postcard (RPPC) issued by the State Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation in Oklahoma City, OK, for Charles Holden, inmate #15063. The card details Holden’s conviction for manslaughter, including a 4-year sentence and conditional discharge in 1927. His physical description, occupation as a machinist, and additional identifying features are included. The front features two mugshot-style photographs (front and profile views), offering a stark glimpse into early 20th-century law enforcement and penal documentation.
