Biography
Wendell Banks was individually named among three anti-nuclear resisters arrested October 21, 1983 after chaining themselves across the Williams International driveway in Walled Lake, Michigan. They pleaded no contest to contempt, received thirty-day jail terms, and were awaiting a separate trespass trial. The report described their expected release by November 20, not an actual discharge; the custodial sentence and pending-release context establish the imprisonment but not its first admission day or completed duration.
