Biography

Ann McGrath was among the Women of Faith arrested April 11, 1985 at General Dynamics Eastern Data Systems in Norwich, Connecticut. Five of the eight were jailed overnight; three later left, while McGrath and Honey Nestel continued refusing bond and remained in Niantic Prison. This establishes McGrath's actual continued, multi-night confinement. The April 29 pretrial hearing was future, not an actual release; no completed duration is inferred.
