Biography
Chris Delaney was individually named in a contemporary report of the April 9, 1982 anti-nuclear blockade at Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento, California. The five named protesters refused citation release and bail and were held in jail through their April 12 arraignment. They pleaded no contest and received time served, described by the report as four days, plus one year of probation. April 9 to April 12 spans three elapsed calendar days, consistent with inclusive counting, and does not prove four full 24-hour days. The article does not expressly state the physical discharge date, so no final release date or completed duration is asserted.

The report individually names the participant and supplies direct physical custody in a politically motivated anti-nuclear protest. No race, gender, exact vital dates, later prison term or present-day custody status is inferred. Chris Delaney is the printed name; no expansion to Christopher or merger with the distinct Dan Delaney Mather report is made.
The named Mather group, including Chris Delaney, refused citation release after the Good Friday April 1, 1983 arrest, spent the weekend in jail, and were sentenced and physically released on time served April 6. Five elapsed days belong to this 1983 stay, not the separate 1982 case.
