Biography
Dr. Janette Funaro was a peace activist and later a college professor and academic administrator. She entered Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha during the Feast of the Holy Innocents peace witness on December 28, 1981 and was detained for several hours. Funaro returned during the Nagasaki Day action on August 9, 1982 and later received probation rather than imprisonment. She earned degrees from Grinnell College and the University of Chicago and went on to teach foreign languages and lead academic programs at several colleges.
Two brief detentions, distinct from later probation
Nuclear Resister issue 10, page 3, explicitly lists Janette Funaro among those arrested at Offutt on December 28, 1981, taken into military custody, given barring letters and released within several hours. The admission field now records that temporary military detention, not a prison term. Original issue 10, page 3.
Issue 12, physical page 9 / printed page 7, reports forty-nine August 9, 1982 arrests: forty-seven released by nightfall and two unnamed draft-registration resisters held overnight. It places the nine previously barred defendants among the forty-seven. Issue 13, page 5, lists the subsequent previously-barred defendants with Funaro spelled Funero; issue 14, page 9, gives her full name and probation outcome. Her same-day detention and release endpoints follow from this exhaustive group account and named prosecution bridge; they are not borrowed from another participant's later jail term. Issue 13 acknowledges conflicting reports, so its forward sentencing forecast is not treated as an actual prison admission. Original issue 12, printed page 7; Original issue 13, page 5; Original issue 14, page 9.
These brief detentions are not continuous custody through her December probation sentence. Zero elapsed calendar days for a same-day stay does not mean zero hours in custody. Existing identified photograph retained.
