Biography

Susan was a Dorothy Day Catholic Worker (Washington, DC); took part in the 1991 ANZUS Peace Force Plowshares at Griffiss AFB, Rome, NY, hammering and pouring blood on a KC-135 refueling plane and a B-52 engine.

Writing as Sue Frankel-Streit, she later identified herself in the 1991 ANZUS Plowshares action. The 2008 North Anna report documents a separate overnight detention.

Her January 2011 first-person reflection, signed Sue Frankel-Streit, describes her participation and imprisonment in the 1991 ANZUS Plowshares action.

Sue Frankel-Streit, first-person reflection, January 1, 2011.

The Plowshares chronology individually names the four ANZUS participants, their January 1, 1991 detention and actual March 6 pretrial release after over two months in jail. This initial phase is recorded separately from later sentencing. The existing ten-month actual-duration figure is preserved because the source does not resolve whether that aggregate includes credited pretrial time. Source.

Release is recorded to June 1992 only; no exact day is established. Pretrial release on March 6, 1991 interrupted custody, so no continuous interval from the January arrest is assumed and no additional pretrial days are added to the reported total.

This ended before the August 20 sentencing and later June 1992 release. The existing ten-month actual-duration statement is preserved without adding these pretrial days to it because the source does not establish whether its aggregate includes credited pretrial confinement. Calendar endpoints are recorded without assuming a second additional total.
