Biography
The report individually identifies Reverend Carfon Foltz as still in Shiawassee County Jail under an unlimited civil-contempt sanction following the December 3, 1984 Williams International cruise-missile-plant blockade. This is ongoing actual political-protest imprisonment, not the unpaid Salvation Army work assigned to David Braun. The source repeatedly prints Carfon; no unsupported expansion or vital date is assigned. Exact first admission, actual final release and completed duration remain unknown.

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.
Additional individually documented custody
The Williams International article individually dates Carfon Foltz’s January 17, 1986 arrest while seeking to leaflet employees. It explicitly states he was held in jail until January 21, when contempt charges were dismissed. The four elapsed days are a distinct later detention, not an extension of the December 1984 civil-contempt stay that ended March 8, 1985. A possible future trespass charge had not yet been arraigned and is not entered as a conviction.

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.

Carfon Foltz is individually named among the five Williams International peace resisters arrested Good Friday April 20, 1984. All pleaded guilty that day and were jailed indefinitely unless they promised not to violate the injunction; the report still places them in Oakland County Jail at publication May 9. This establishes actual multi-week US political custody, not a suspended or scheduled sentence. No final release or completed total is inferred. The case is separate from later 1984–1986 prosecutions.
The August 1984 follow-up explicitly names the five Good Friday Williams International contempt prisoners and reports their actual release May 10, 1984. Combined with their already documented April 20 jail admission, this establishes 20 elapsed days; concurrent trespass terms are not counted again.
