Biography

Harry Williams was an IWW member from Scrotia. Harry Williams received a one- to fourteen-year prison sentence, which he served in San Quentin from February 10, 1920, to May 10, 1924.

The January 28, 1924 issue of The Daily Worker individually listed Harry Williams among the political and class-war prisoners at San Quentin State Prison in California, in an appeal to fund newspaper subscriptions for imprisoned people. This is a contemporary custody observation; the publication date does not establish admission, release, or a total period served.

The Daily Worker, January 28, 1924, page 5.

The February 26, 1924 Daily Worker political-prisoner roster individually prints Harry Williams with historical prisoner number 33441. The entry appears under San Quentin State Prison, California. 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.
