Woodson Resumes   Plowshares Sentence

On November 25, Helen Woodson completed the prison sentence resulting from her 1993 actions against corporate pollution and the lust for money. Those actions occurred shortly after her release on parole from an 18-year sentence for the November, 1984 Silo Pruning Hooks disarmament action at Minuteman nuclear missile silo N-4 in Missouri. Woodson was informed that a probation revocation hearing would be held at the prison, where she continued to be held under the original sentence. She prepared a following statement for the occasion (see The Inside Line).

Woodson wrote, amused, that "although there was no change in my status when I officially 'rolled over' from the bank sentence to the Pruning Hooks at midnight November 25, the medical department thought I'd been released, canceled my prescriptions and archived my files..."
