Josh Wolf, 24, has spent almost six months in jail. More time than any journalist in US history for protecting his sources. He was jailed on August 1st of last year when he refused to turn over video that he had shot of an anti-G8 demonstration in San Francisco to a federal grand jury.
You have to give props to this guy for sticking to his guns in the face of adversity. I have to say, I don’t think I’d have the willpower to spend an undetermined amount of time in prison, semi-willingly. It’s amazing that 170+ days have passed already; It seems just like yesterday he walked up to the prison. Good read if you have been following the story.
