Biography

Ignacio Gonzalez was a prisoner at San Quentin, California supported by the International Labor Defense. He received a two-to-five-year sentence in 1930 and was included in the organization’s roster of political prisoners.

The September 8, 1930 Laisve, page 5, reproduces an International Labor Defense political-prisoner directory. Its row prints Ignacio Gonzalez, a term of 2–5 years, the year 1930 in the sentencing-year column, and confinement or correspondence location San Quentin, California. This is an attributed historical directory entry; printed years and nominal terms are not exact intake dates or measured time served, and mailing boxes do not independently identify a prison. The directory contains stale or conflicting chronology, so this row does not override independently established conviction, death or release facts.

The Behind the Bars directory on printed page 4 lists this prisoner under San Quentin State Prison, California, with two to five years, 1930; printed Ignacio Gonzales. This is an attributed historical directory entry: the year and nominal term do not establish an intake day, uninterrupted imprisonment, completed service or physical release.
