Biography

Linda Rosenstock was an eighteen-year-old participant in the April 28, 1961 New York protest against compulsory civil-defense drills and preparations for nuclear war. Police arrested her for refusing to take shelter. She appeared in Adolescent Court on May 10 and was paroled pending sentencing on May 26. The reviewed report does not establish that she remained jailed between arrest and the court appearance, so no custody duration is entered.
