Biography

Sam Picolo was a New York cafeteria striker who chose commitment to the Tombs rather than paying a ten-dollar fine. The May 7, 1929 report identifies a two-day imposed term. It establishes actual commitment but does not independently establish the completed time served or physical discharge.
