Biography

William Joozdeff was an IWW member from Sacramento. William Joozdeff received a four-year prison sentence, which he served in San Quentin from March 1923 until his term expired.

The International Labor Defense holiday roster in the December 29, 1925 Daily Worker lists this prisoner, printed as Wm. Joozdeff, at San Quentin California. Its printed identifier is 37649; this is a prison number or mailing designation, not a year or a custody date. This documents confinement at the roster’s reporting time, without establishing an admission, transfer, release, new conviction or complete duration. Existing independently sourced custody chronology remains separate. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1925/1925-ny/v02b-n297-NYE-dec-29-1925-DW-LOC.pdf#page=5

The February 26, 1924 Daily Worker political-prisoner roster individually prints Wm. Joosdeff with historical prisoner number 37649. The entry appears under San Quentin State Prison, California. This is a contemporary institutional identifier, not a federal BOP register number. No admission or release date, individual sentence length, actual duration, organizational membership or present status is inferred.

The birthday-gift list locates Joozdeff at San Quentin; the money is relief, not a duration. This documents the source’s contemporary custody context without establishing a new admission, precise release or completed-service total.
