Convicted draft registration resister Benjamin Sasway has been transferred from the Metropolitan Correctional Center to the federal minimum-security camp at Lompoc.
Sasway, of Vista, who had been in MCC since Monday, when he was remanded to custody by U.S. District Judge Gordon Thompson Jr., was taken from the jail Wednesday night and driven in a van with other inmates to the camp north of Santa Barbara, an MCC spokesman said.
Sasway was convicted in August, 1982, of violating federal draft registration laws. The 24-year-old college student had been free on appeal since his October, 1982, sentencing.
