Biography

The author identified himself as Charles Rock Dutton and wrote from the Baltimore City Jail Inmate Liberation Front. An April 1971 eyewitness account reports that Dutton, Statton, Costes, Jackson and Larry Wallace were confined together in a small Baltimore City Jail isolation cell for six days after the February 1971 confrontations. This establishes actual custody longer than overnight and their involvement in prisoner resistance; their underlying commitments, original admission dates, releases and complete custody totals remain unresolved.
