Biography

Martin Jezer, identified as a New York editor of WIN magazine, testified in November 1967 about imprisonment following the Pentagon antiwar mobilization. He described overnight confinement in a D.C. Jail segregation cell, fingerprinting the next morning, and mistreatment. Exact custody endpoints, the imposed term and the complete actual duration remain unknown.

Judy Willis’s account of the November 6, 1967 press conference documents the demonstrators’ testimony about actual custody following the October 21 Pentagon mobilization. It describes segregation, coercive processing and abuse. It specifically places Rader and Kauffman still imprisoned and fasting; a claimed official release is not accepted as an actual discharge.
