Case

Charges: Obstructing an exit in violation of the fire code and disturbing the peace — oral-history description
Sentence: Marcus recalled convictions on two counts after an anti-nuclear Atomic Energy Commission sit-in; unlawful assembly was dismissed. He served thirty days at Santa Rita. The introductory summary conflates this protest with a separate submarine-launch action, so the custody year and exact endpoints are left blank.
