Biography
Suzanne Belote was individually named among three resisters who had recently served seventeen days in jail for a December 1981 anti-nuclear action at Draper Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After their conviction appeal was denied, they declined court-ordered community service, saying service should be voluntary Christian love rather than punishment. Exact jail-admission, release and sentencing days are not printed.

Actual individually documented custody and anti-nuclear protest relevance are established, not merely arrest or a possible sentence. No demographic attributes, exact vital dates, current custody status or unsupported name expansion are inferred. Earlier arrest, sentence, residential custody, physical jail and projected release are distinguished.
For the separate August 9, 1982 Draper action, the contemporary report confirms sentence service began August 23 and ended in release two weeks later, with community service for the remainder. This is distinct from the seventeen days served for the December 1981 action.
