Contemporary anti-nuclear custody report
Individually named among the GTE-Sylvania Good Friday arrestees at Westboro, Massachusetts, April 9, 1982. All except Louis Doughton refused bond and remained jailed over the weekend until explicitly reported release on their own recognizance Monday April 12. April 9 to April 12 is three elapsed calendar days, not four complete days. Trial was still scheduled for May 11, not a conviction. This April episode is distinct from December 1982 and other existing cases.

Separate three days actually served for the Salem Resistance Vitro action
The December 16 report individually names Scott Duffy, Paul Magno, Rick and Gay Sanseverino and Claire Schaffer as actually serving three days in Montgomery County Detention Center, Maryland, after November 28, 1983 sentencing for refusing fines from the spring Vitro Laboratories action. At sentencing, Magno described the group as being jailed that day. No precise release day is back-calculated. This historical Scott Duffy profile is matched directly to the printed name and campaign; a possible relationship to the separately stored Scott Schaeffer-Duffy profile remains an identity-reconciliation lead, not a silent merge.
