Biography

Darrel Peatry was a De Mau Mau prisoner in Illinois. A July–August 1976 statement published by Prison Scenes individually identified him as serving two 40-to-120-year terms and described the convicted Illinois members as still in prison. The group disputed sensational reporting of its prosecutions and alleged racism, coercive interrogation and prison retaliation. The article does not establish his individual admission date, eventual discharge or completed custody duration.
