Biography

Sophia Morgan participated in the 2012 Hobet mine protest against mountaintop-removal coal mining in West Virginia. A contemporary RAMPS prisoner-support roster identifies Sophia Morgan among those detained at Western Regional Jail.

Partial-date duration review October 13, 2026: The existing RAMPS case explicitly records sentencing and release only at August 2012 month precision. August 1 is a storage placeholder, not a verified individual release day; the resulting four-day total is cleared. The contemporary prisoner-support roster identifies Sophia Morgan among the detainees but does not resolve an individual release day. Actual sentencing/release days and an identifiable photograph remain unresolved; no dates are guessed.

Case

Charges: Trespassing — Hobet mine protest; initial group reporting also describes obstruction charges
Arrested: Jul 28, 2012
Sentenced: August 2012
Incarcerated: Jul 28, 2012
Released: August 2012
Sentence: Held after the July 28, 2012 protest. RAMPS reports that nineteen defendants accepted trespass pleas, a $500 fine and one year of probation at hearings on August 2 or August 7; all were out by August 7. The individual hearing and release day are not established, so August is recorded at month precision. Probation is not counted as incarceration.
