Eugene Debs served two and a half years in prison for violating the Espionage Act of 1917, which prohibited interference with military operations, recruitment, or insubordination in the military. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but was released early due to a commutation of his sentence by President Warren G. Harding in 1921.
