Biography
The author individually describes James Statton being attacked by guards on February 24, 1971 and charged with assault with intent to murder a jail guard. An April 1971 eyewitness account reports that Dutton, Statton, Costes, Jackson and Larry Wallace were confined together in a small Baltimore City Jail isolation cell for six days after the February 1971 confrontations. This establishes actual custody longer than overnight and their involvement in prisoner resistance; their underlying commitments, original admission dates, releases and complete custody totals remain unresolved.
