Biography
John Penley was individually identified as arrested by federal agents at Miami International Airport February 17, 1984 on returning from Nicaragua. The report explicitly records two months held in Miami before transfer to South Carolina, where he remained in federal custody at Richland County Detention Center and organized prisoners over food conditions. His underlying prosecution concerned anti-nuclear entry at the Savannah River Plant, subsequent non-cooperation with investigation and an alleged interstate flight. Register 22170-004 is individually printed. Transfer is not release; no final endpoint or exact completed day count is inferred.

The follow-up dates Penley’s guilty plea to bond jumping April 27, 1984 and sentencing July 25 to ten months and a $2,000 fine. Two possible contempt citations were dismissed in the plea agreement. The ten months are nominal and do not replace the incomplete actual-custody total.
