Biography
Liz Davidson was individually named with Russ Ford and Michael Wehle in a June 20, 1983 blood-pouring protest at the Underwater Systems Laboratory in Groton. All were arrested for disorderly conduct, but Michael was released on a promise to appear. Liz and Russ pleaded no contest, received ten-day sentences and were actually released June 24. The June 20–24 custody interval spans four elapsed days, not ten days actually served; no exact sentencing day is supplied.

Individually named anti-nuclear protest custody is documented. Sentence lengths, forecasts and actual service are distinguished. No vital dates, demographic attributes, present custody status or unsupported name expansion are inferred. Any missing endpoints remain unknown.
Additional original custody evidence
The October 18, 1985 Trident II sentencing report individually names Liz Davidson among five supporters taken into custody for turning their backs on the judge, found in contempt and sentenced to ten days. The same report places the detained women with Jean Holladay at ACI and discusses their still-future release. This establishes actual custody distinct from Davidson’s 1983 Groton case, but does not prove ten completed days or an actual discharge date.
