Biography

George Haka was listed on the Labor Defender's class-war prisoner honor roll as serving 1 year in the Los Angeles jails after the unemployment demonstrations of 1930.

The Behind the Bars directory on printed page 4 lists this prisoner under Lincoln Heights Jail, California, with six months, 1930. This is an attributed historical directory entry: the year and nominal term do not establish an intake day, uninterrupted imprisonment, completed service or physical release.

Labor Defender, January 1931, PDF page 5.

The May 1932 Labor Defender prints a greeting explicitly from class-war prisoners in Los Angeles, individually naming G. Haka. The rare surname, matching initial and Los Angeles political-custody context support the connection with this George Haka record. This is a contemporary custody observation beyond the earlier 1930 honor roll, not proof of a new arrest, uninterrupted confinement or an additional completed year.
