Biography

John Hiza, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World, received a seven-year sentence under California's criminal syndicalism law. He was admitted to Folsom State Prison in March 1923 and is documented as still held there in June 1927.

This was a state prosecution. An earlier version of this record carried a federal Espionage or Sedition Act charge; no separate federal prosecution has been found, and that charge is removed.
