Release established in 1983, not an exact day

The April/May 1983 Death to the Klan, RICO and the Grand Jury, lists Asha Sundiata among resisters held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. The later December 1983 New Afrikan, page 7, names her among the resisters and reports all free except Larry Mack and Richard Delaney. Original complete relevant pages were visually checked. These accounts establish release in 1983, not an exact day or month. January 1 is only a year-precision storage placeholder. No initial admission date or complete duration is established, and another participant's release day is not substituted.
