Hunger strike row marks transfer of Harris to federal prison
Federal marshals moved draft resister David Harris from San Francisco County Jail on Monday and denied the hunger strike tied to his removal. Harris, 23, married folk singer Joan Baez, and had been held on a three year term for refusal of induction. Jail officials and marshals described the transfer as unrelated to the strike, which began after grievances over food, medical care, and visiting rights. The report also notes broader indictments involving Mexican-Americans over fires at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles and a legal challenge by ACLU counsel Aliooney Wirin to the grand jury process.
