Only individually documented actual custody is preserved. Nominal sentences, civil-appeal forecasts and case-disposition dates do not establish actual time served or release. No birth/death date, race, gender, unsupported name expansion or present custody status is inferred.

Contemporary1985 custody follow-up

The April16 Williams follow-up individually names Carfon Foltz and Brian Larkin as actually released March8,1985 after serving just over three months under indefinite civil contempt. It distinguishes David Braun's noncustodial unpaid labor. March8 is an actual discharge, not a forecast. The source supplies no exact first admission or exact completed day count; "just over three months" is not rounded into a counter.

Earlier 1984–1985 custody chronology

The January 23 report dates the Williams International blockade arrests December 3, 1984 and individually names this defendant among twelve who went to jail after rejecting a promise not to return. David Braun instead undertook compulsory labor and is not assigned this jail stay. The text does not separately print a court/remand day; December 3 is added as the arrest day only, not silently as the first physical jail admission. Later release evidence already recorded is preserved, and no new duplicate episode or completed nominal term is added.
