- A prisoner other inmates say was mentally
unstable was shot and killed in an apparent
escape attempt.
Juan Carlos Calzadilla, also known as "El
Loco," or the crazy one, to other inmates
of the Playa Manteca prison, in Mayarí,
eastern Cuba, either crossed or was trying
to cross the security fence when a guard
saw him and fired with his rifle, wounding
him in one leg.
His fellow inmates report that while he
was lying on the ground, other guards fired
on him, killing him.
Calzadilla was awaiting trial on unspecified
charges. This was his first time in prison.
