Only individually documented actual custody is preserved. Nominal sentences, civil-appeal forecasts and case-disposition dates do not establish actual time served or release. No birth/death date, race, gender, unsupported name expansion or present custody status is inferred.

Earlier 1984–1985 custody chronology

The January 23 report dates the Williams International blockade arrests December 3, 1984 and individually names this defendant among twelve who went to jail after rejecting a promise not to return. David Braun instead undertook compulsory labor and is not assigned this jail stay. The text does not separately print a court/remand day; December 3 is added as the arrest day only, not silently as the first physical jail admission. Later release evidence already recorded is preserved, and no new duplicate episode or completed nominal term is added.
