"How much time did they both spend in prison for non-cooperation with unjust laws?"

Did they cooperate with any of the Man's laws? Did they try avoiding arrest. Did they spit and/or scream at the police. Did they try to escape from prison? Did they not respect the law enforcement, knowing that the police were mostly trying to enforce the laws that were created by some legislative body. Wasn't their purpose to change the laws, wasn't their main purpose to get "the Man to change "his" laws". If the Man were to need any help to change his laws, would they be interested in working with the Man? Were they trying to cooperate with the Man in a manner designed to force "the Man" to change laws?

"Wake up. The reason radicals are tracked by the authorities is to control them, not to protect them."

The reason radicals are tracked by the authorities is to gain intel.
The purpose of Intel is allow authorities to control. If radicals happen to be planning to blow up a train, then by gaining intel, it's possble that the authorities can arrest them before they do this.
