Biography

Milton Parish, also reported as Milton Parrish, was a writer jailed for refusing grand-jury testimony in the New York 8+ investigation. In granting his release, the court concluded that further confinement would reinforce rather than overcome his solidarity with people associated with the Sunrise Collective.
