Biography
Dan Delaney was identified by the National No-Nukes Prison Support Collective as one of two Sacramento Catholic Worker hospitality-house participants serving five-day jail terms for a Hiroshima Day civil-disobedience action at Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento. The contemporary item, published January 17, 1982, confirms actual service but does not print the action year, initial admission, actual release or precise statutory charge. No August 6 date is inferred from the action’s name.

Actual physical imprisonment is explicitly reported, not merely arrest or a future sentence. The publication date is not an intake date. All individual custody endpoints and exact served counters remain unknown. No birth date, race, ethnicity or unsupported alias is inferred.
Individually documented 1985–1986 custody chronology
The January 3, 1986 Nevada Test Site report individually identifies Dan Delaney among the three noncooperators who actually served a five-day jail sentence before release. This completed five-day stay is separate from the other defendants released on citation that day and from this person’s earlier protest cases. January 3 is the arrest date; the report does not expressly print the subsequent individual admission or physical-release day, so five days are preserved as actual documented service without back-calculating endpoints. The other arrestees’ anticipated fines or five-to-six-day sentences are not assigned to this person.

The May 9, 1981 newsletter reports that the four Lockheed blood-pouring protesters pleaded no contest on March 26. On April 24 Larry Purcell received six months plus two years suspended, Larry Ferlazzo four months, Dan Delaney three months, and Kris Selvig forty-five days. It identifies the three men as currently at Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas. Selvig’s impending release was only a forecast. The action occurred March 11; neither that action day nor the sentencing date is treated as a proven admission day.

The Aerojet report individually identifies Dan Delaney among twelve protesters who refused citation release following May 10, 1985 arrest and remained in jail for four days over the weekend. Their time-served arraignment disposition is reported without a separately dated physical discharge. Four is the source’s inclusive actual served count, not a silently inferred three elapsed days. Neither an unprinted Monday sentencing day nor exact release is invented.
