Biography
Harold Wood was arrested during a New York demonstration for Sacco and Vanzetti and imprisoned for distributing leaflets. The Daily Worker of October 13, 1927 reported that he had been released the preceding Tuesday after fifty days actually served, following a sixty-day sentence imposed by Justice Ewald at Jefferson Market Court.

The article identifies the demonstration as August 20 and prints the institution as Records Island. The place name is preserved as the newspaper’s wording, without silently converting it to a different jail. Tuesday resolves to October 11, 1927. The explicit fifty days served is retained; the sixty-day nominal sentence is not substituted. No exact admission date is derived by subtracting fifty days or from the inconsistent demonstration-to-release arithmetic.
