Biography
Susan Silverberg was individually named among four women who actually spent fifteen days each in Missoula County Jail after their June 6, 1983 convictions for a May 22 blockade of a Burlington Northern train transporting nuclear-warhead cargo. All four were actually released June 20. The fifteen days are explicit completed service, not a sentence maximum. The exact first physical-admission day and statutory charge are not printed and are not back-calculated from the duration.
Calculated incarceration date for the stay ending June 20, 1983: June 6, 1983. Using inclusive calendar-day counting for the reported 15-day stay, subtracting 14 days gives this date, consistent with the recorded June 6 conviction and subsequent confinement. The inclusive counting method is inferred from that chronology. This is a calculated date, not a separately documented admission date.
