Biography
Charles Sherrod was an SNCC organizer transferred to the Dawson jail during the Albany campaign.
Zinn reports that SNCC organizer Charles Sherrod was transferred to the Dawson jail in Terrell County during the December 1961 Albany campaign. Sherrod described a beating by Sheriff E. Z. Mathison and another man, solitary confinement from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and return to Albany to make an FBI statement. The six-and-a-half-hour solitary interval is not the total imprisonment duration, and transfer back to Albany is not release.
