Biography

Carol McKenzie was individually named among three peace activists arrested December 8, 1983 after an antiwar protest outside military recruitment offices in Geneva, New York. The follow-up dates conviction and sentencing January 18, 1984 for criminal mischief. After refusal of the fine and community service the judge ordered 89 days, and the February 12 report confirms all three were still actually jailed in Ontario County. Multi-night custody is established, but the report does not independently date the physical admission day or any discharge. Eighty-nine imposed days and mid-April forecasts are not completed time.

The March 28, 1984 follow-up explicitly reports that Johanna Benschop, Kim Blacklock and Carol McKenzie were physically released March 16 after nearly two months in jail following their Geneva, New York Marine recruiting-office protest. Nearly two months is approximate actual service, and their thirty-day liquids-only protest is not a custody total. No admission date or exact day total is calculated from either statement.
