Biography

Anne Tabor was arrested and initially released after an August 9, 1984 anti-nuclear prayer and ashes action at Rock Island Arsenal. At her January 3, 1985 arraignment she refused a signature bond and was jailed. The original explicitly reports that Tabor and Margaret Volpe satisfied their bonds and were physically released January 11, eight days later. This is an actual eight-day January stay, not continuous imprisonment since August or an inferred nominal sentence.

Anne Tabor was individually sentenced April 19, 1985 for the Rock Island Arsenal action. Eight days previously served are already stored and are not added again; the seven-day imposed sentence does not create a new April stay.
