Biography

Christine Eirene was individually named with Kathy Jennings and Ladon Sheats in the Ash Wednesday 1983 Pantex fence-crossing protest at Amarillo, Texas. All were charged with criminal trespass and remained in jail until trial. Eirene was convicted, sentenced to six months plus two years probation, and described in Fort Worth federal custody in the June report. The projected mid-August release and six-month term are not actual discharge or completed days. The source does not print an exact physical-admission or sentencing day here, so those fields remain blank.

Case

Charges: Criminal trespass
Arrested: Feb 16, 1983
Incarcerated: Feb 16, 1983
Sentence: Christine Eirene was individually named with Kathy Jennings and Ladon Sheats in the Ash Wednesday 1983 Pantex fence-crossing protest at Amarillo, Texas. All were charged with criminal trespass and remained in jail until trial. Eirene was convicted, sentenced to six months plus two years probation, and described in Fort Worth federal custody in the June report. The projected mid-August release and six-month term are not actual discharge or completed days. The source does not print an exact physical-admission or sentencing day here, so those fields remain blank. The March 9, 1983 Nuclear Resister identifies Christine Eirene’s Ash Wednesday Pantex arrest, refusal of bond and continued custody. The same issue explicitly dates Ash Wednesday February 16, establishing this actual initial detention. The later conviction and sentence remain separate, and the physical discharge date remains unknown. Source: https://media.nukeresister.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/NR015_19830309small.pdf#page=1
