Biography

Meldon Acheson appears in the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors’ 1968 lists of imprisoned draft and conscientious resisters, held at McNeil Island, Washington.

The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors’ November–December 1968 News Notes lists Meldon Acheson among its current prisoners at McNeil Island. This contemporary roster corroborates actual confinement during the issue’s reporting period. It is a dated custody observation, not an admission, release, transfer date or measure of total time served.
