Prisoners
made to work 12 hours a day in Cuba
HAVANA, September 12 (www.cubanet.org) - Thirty-two
inmates at the El Anoncillo minimum-security prison
camp have been put to work more than 12 hours
a day cleaning fields and planting them, under
the orders of Omar Mora.
The inmates say they get an indescribable liquid
without bread in the morning and that their other
meals are poor, according to José Agramonte,
who also said they work without appropriate shoes
and without pay. The only incentive, he said,
is the authorization of periodic visits by family
members.
At the camp, Agramonte said, there are no baths
or medical attention, and no analgesics. He added
that the guards threaten the prisoners with sending
them to a maximum security prison if they don't
do as they are ordered, and with sending them
to isolation cells if they speak out.
