Biography
Shirley Whiteside was individually named among six anti-nuclear demonstrators who tied a “Stop Military Madness” banner to the Martin Marietta plant sign southwest of Denver on May 2, 1986. On December 9 Judge Linda Palmeri sent the defendants to jail; the two nuns rejected different treatment and were jailed with the others. The December 12 report says all six were then actually serving their terms in Jefferson County Jail. The five-day imposed term and expected December 14 release are not proof of five actual days completed or physical discharge that day. December 9 is supported as actual admission; the May 2 action date alone is not assigned as a jail-admission or arrest date.

Individually named actual political custody, not merely a charge or forecast. Nominal sentence length is not a served total. No unverified demographic attributes, vital dates, exact release days or present custody status are inferred.
The Palm Sunday report individually names seven Rocky Flats protesters arrested April 15, 1984 and taken to Denver County Jail. Monday April 16 bond was set. The other five bonded out after two more days, directly anchored to Monday April 16; the corresponding date is Wednesday April 18. These three elapsed days are based on the reported actual bond release, not an imposed sentence. No other earlier or later custody period is combined into this stay.
