Prison inmates complain of isolation
HOLGUIN, Cuba - July 21 (Liannis Meriño
Aguilera, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- Inmates at the provincial prison in Holguín,
in eastern Cuba, say they are kept practically
isolated from their families, since their
mail does not get through and they find
it very hard to make phone calls.
Political prisoner Randy Cabrera got word
out of the prison that incoming letters
seldom get through, and the outgoing mail
even less so.
There is only one phone to serve a prison
population of about a thousand, and inmates
are limited to five-minute calls which they
manage to place sometimes up to a month
apart. In addition, said Herrera, fights
often break out around the phone among the
frustrated inmates.
