Biography

Ernest Dudley was a member of SNCC and an early organizer of Seattle Draft Resistance who refused induction during the Vietnam War. Contemporary reporting documents jail confinement after his 1967 arrest, and 1969 rosters place him at McNeil Island.

Case

Charges: Refusal of military induction
Arrested: Oct 10, 1967
Incarcerated: Oct 10, 1967
Sentence: Refused induction 14 April 1967; arrested 10 October 1967 in Los Angeles. A January 1968 report describes about a month held incommunicado following transfer to Seattle. CCCO lists him at McNeil Island in March–April and May–August 1969. CCCO September–October 1968 reports an imposed five-year sentence for refusal of induction by Judge William Beeks, on appeal. The nominal term is not actual time served; exact release and continuity between the custody observations remain unverified.
