Polly Brokaw was individually named among seven actually arrested and held after the April 17, 1984 General Electric protest at Evandale. The next-day arraignment imposed jail after fines were refused. Polly was physically released April 19 when a supporter paid her fine. These actual endpoints are distinct from the nominal ten/five-day terms.
