Biography
Frank Fiorito was vice-president of the Newark Teachers Union and was imprisoned for contempt of court arising from the union’s 1970–1971 strikes. Nat London’s January 21, 1972 contemporary report states that Fiorito was then serving a fifteen-month term. The contempt sanctions concerned violation of a permanent injunction issued during the 1970 strike. The source does not give his individual admission or physical-release date, and fifteen months is the imposed term rather than a verified completed duration.
