Subject: prison records 1920's?

How can I access prison records for New York state or possibly Illinois ca. 1920
- 1935?

I believe an ancestor was in prison, probably in NY state during that time and I
would like to learn the details.

Possibly related to a "Steuben company" that may have been extorting
"protection" money from German-americans for some purpose.  Bootleg, etc.

Thanks,
J Miller
