Additional original custody evidence
The Wurtsmith update individually names Mary Girard among five people arrested August 6, 1985 for re-entry trespass. It expressly reports that this individual actually served 3 days in jail. This completed 1985 episode is distinct from later Williams International proceedings or the 1986 Wurtsmith imprisonment. The exact later admission, sentence and discharge days are not printed; August 6 is recorded only as arrest, not assumed continuous custody until an unknown end.
The Nuclear Resister No.35, October 24, 1985: PDF page 7.
Girard was sent to jail October 14, 1986 for a separate Wurtsmith protest.
The update reports Girard released April 23,1986 after 92 days on civil contempt. That source-reported contempt duration is not added to the earlier admission interval.
The report individually identifies this Williams International peace resister as jailed for civil contempt after the June 11, 1984 blockade. Actual release was 1984-07-16; this separate stay lasted 35 elapsed days.
In a letter summarized in the September 1981 newsletter, Girard reported twelve actual days in Wayne County Jail after displaying a peace banner at a Detroit ROTC awards ceremony on May 18. This earlier anti-recruitment imprisonment is separate from her later 1984–1986 cases.
