Court Diaries provide a daily record of the court attendances of Minda inmates. The following details are given within the diaries; the name of the court, the name of the inmate, their date of birth, the offence, whether they were escorted, the time and notes.
Access to these records is restricted. People wishing to access restricted records can either contact their nearest Community Services Centre to apply or they can post the information; an application form must be completed together with proof of identity provided.
According to Connecting Kin (1998), there are 11 volumes of Court Diaries for Minda.
