Irons is a graduate of Antioch College an early incubator of progressive politics after World War II. He embarked on his current path in 1963 when he was issued a 3 year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut for refusing military induction. It was while serving his sentence that he became associated with another famous activist, Howard Zinn. He wrote to Zinn, who wrote back, sending him books on civil liberties and American politics. His conviction was ultimately reversed by a federal judge on the ground of prosecutorial misconduct. Later, President Gerald Ford granted him a pardon for refusing induction.
