Biography
Matthew Goodheart was imprisoned in connection with nonviolent resistance to nuclear weapons. Matt Goodheart, expanded to Matthew in the same issue’s prisoner directory, was actually held at the Oakland County Trustee Camp after a November 13 probation-violation sentencing. The report and dated current-prisoner directory document actual multi-night imprisonment, not merely an arrest or unexecuted sentence. The 90-day imposed term is not a completed served total. The earlier Williams International conviction and Wurtsmith three-day sentence are context, not additional proven completed stays.
Contemporary source and limits
Matt Goodheart, expanded to Matthew in the same issue’s prisoner directory, was actually held at the Oakland County Trustee Camp after a November 13 probation-violation sentencing. The report and dated current-prisoner directory document actual multi-night imprisonment, not merely an arrest or unexecuted sentence. The 90-day imposed term is not a completed served total.

The reviewed issue documents actual political-protest imprisonment. No race, birth or death date, other identity expansion, exact release from a projected date, or current custody status is inferred. Only explicit actual completed days are entered as a documented subtotal; imposed terms alone are not counted.
Contemporary 1986 custody evidence
The Wurtsmith update identifies Matt Goodheart as arrested June 8, 1986, pleading guilty, and having actually served a ten-day jail sentence. This completed stay is distinct from his November 1985 probation-violation imprisonment already recorded. The report does not print the later admission, sentencing or physical discharge day, so June 8 is recorded only as arrest and the ten days as an explicitly documented served total.

Additional original custody evidence
The Wurtsmith update individually names Matthew Goodheart 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.
