Biography
The Militant identifies Fort Jackson Eight members Joe Ruder and Joe Cole as having spent sixty-two days actually imprisoned before the Army conceded it had no case. It reports a board’s recommendation for undesirable discharges over their antiwar political activity. The sixty-two days describe actual detention, not an imposed criminal sentence; exact endpoints are absent. The Militant, July 4, 1969, vol.33 no.27, original PDF page 12.
