Biography
Cassandra Dixon actually spent four days in jail in July 1986 as a result of the July 6 blockade of the Wisconsin Project ELF transmitter. The contemporary report expressly distinguishes that completed Wisconsin stay from her July 29 overnight arrest at the separate Michigan ELF facility and later September 13 Wisconsin arrest awaiting trial. The four actually served days are not expanded to include those other arrests. It does not print the later July sentence-admission, sentencing or discharge day.

No formal charge, exact jail admission, completed custody duration or later court outcome is inferred. Earlier charges against Carl Kabat for separate actions are not assigned to this event.
