Biography

Harold Bird was an IWW member from Portola. Harold Bird received a four-year prison sentence, which he served in San Quentin from October 29, 1923, until his parole.

The February 26, 1924 Daily Worker political-prisoner roster individually prints Harold Bird with historical prisoner number 38532. Its continued Walla Walla heading appears to run into California prisoners, while this individual’s existing record documents San Quentin. The printed identifier is transcribed; no transfer to Washington or institution change is inferred from that heading. This is a contemporary institutional identifier, not a federal BOP register number. No admission or release date, individual sentence length, actual duration, organizational membership or present status is inferred.
