Biography
Rob Whiffen began actually serving a thirty-day jail sentence immediately after a November 9, 1983 hearing concerning the October 15 USS Henry Jackson commissioning protest at Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut. The Nuclear Resister individually names all four men, reports no-contest pleas, and supplies their Montville Correctional Center address. The projected December 8 endpoint is not recorded as an actual discharge, and thirty days imposed is not assumed to be thirty days completed. The December 16, 1983 prisoner directory explicitly lists this person as recently released, affirming actual discharge in 1983 but not its day. The earlier December 8 anticipated release is not promoted to an actual day, and thirty days imposed is not asserted as an exact completed total.
