Biography
Jedidiah Poole — SOA Watch line-crosser at Fort Benning, Georgia. Convicted of trespass on a military installation and sentenced to 3 months in federal custody.
Each November on the anniversary of the assassination of six Jesuits, their housekeeper, and her daughter at the University of Central America in San Salvador in 1989, peace activists gather at the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia, site of the U.S. Army School of the Americas / Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), to commemorate the dead and to call for the school's closure. Hundreds have crossed the line onto the base over four decades of vigils; many have served federal sentences ranging from 30 days to a year for trespass.
Calculated release date for the stay beginning December 8, 2016: January 7, 2017, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 30 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.

After his August 6, 2016 Vandenberg protest arrest, Jedidiah Poole pleaded guilty and received thirty days at his November 17 arraignment. He surrendered at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles on December 8. A subsequent report explicitly confirms that he served the thirty-day sentence. The earlier roster’s January 7 release date was a forecast; his exact physical departure remains unverified. This is separate from his 2014 imprisonment.
