Biography

Jim Clune participated in a December 28, 1981 antiwar action at the Pentagon, pouring blood on the River Entrance steps during a Feast of the Innocents witness. A January 17, 1982 contemporary newsletter reports a January 15 trial, a 60 days sentence, and actual confinement at the D.C. Detention Center.

Contemporary anti-nuclear custody report

The original update explicitly reports Ann and Jim Clune already released after actually serving 30 and 60 days respectively for their December 28, 1981 Pentagon action. For this profile the reported actual served duration is 60 days, not merely an imposed sentence. The report gives no exact discharge day; the existing actual-duration counter is preserved, not removed or recalculated.
