Jonah House Update 9-17-18

There is lots to report from Jonah House.

First an update from Liz and Susan's court date in Bath, Maine, an update from Naed Smith's court date in Alexandria, VA and finally addresses for Sisters Carol and Jackie.

Today Susan and Liz of Jonah House along with Tom Lewis (Mass), George Ostenson (Maine), Lisa Guido (New York) were sentenced to four days in jail and Tom Feagley (Mass), Jim Harney (Maine), Jane Van Landingham (Mass), Cath Robson and Sr. Susan Clarkson (Washington DC), Mary Donnelly (Maine), Kevin Wyer (Maine) were sentenced to two days for their witness in front of Bath Iron Works on August 9th. They pled no contest and told the judge they couldn't pay fines or do community service. They were charged with criminal trespass for holding a banner outside a christening of a Navy Destroyer at the same time and date of the anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan.

On September 5th, as Bill, Steve and Steve were being released from six months in prison for exposing the blood at the Pentagon last December, Naed Smith went into federal court in Alexandria, VA for the same action on Good Friday. He pled guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. We believe he is still at the Alexandria Jail and that he will stay there for the duration of the sentence (but we can never be sure). His address is

Sisters Carol and Jackie of Sacred Earth and Space Plowshares have arrived at Federal Prison Camps. Sister Ardeth is still at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City. We expect Ardeth will be moved to Danbury, CT when they have room for her.
