Catholic activist Patrick O’Neill reports to prison, takes up new cause
On January 14, Patrick O’Neill reported to the Federal Correctional Institution near Elkton, Ohio, to serve a 14-month sentence for breaking into a nuclear submarine base as part of a symbolic nuclear disarmament action he took with six other Catholic pacifists more than two years ago.
On his way to prison, O’Neill took up a new cause: protecting inmates from COVID-19.
