Richard Jewett

Reported Canton jail duration

The accompanying notes on Dave Dennis say that Dick Jewett arrived from New York in January 1964, was sent to Canton, and was jailed for 32 days after being there less than 24 hours. This is a retrospective duration statement, not an independently dated jail register. It differs from the 29-day interval between the January 23 admission and February 21 release already recorded in this profile. Neither those exact endpoints nor the counter is replaced by a date calculated from this recollection; the discrepancy is retained explicitly for comparison with the underlying court or jail records.
