On January 26, 2009, in a federal courthouse in Georgia, Luis Barrios, along with four others, Kristin Holm, Sr. Diane Pinchot, OSU, Al Simmons, and Theresa Cusimano received sentences of 60 days in a federal penitentiary while a sixth, Louis Wolf, was sentenced to 6 months of house arrest. The six were found “guilty” of carrying their protest against the School of the Americas (it was renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in 2001) onto the Fort Benning military base. They were among thousands who gathered on November 22 and 23, 2008 outside the gates of Fort Benning to demand the closure of the school.
