Odd that we’ve heard a lot more in the press about another particular prison in Cuba than about this one.
Vazquez described his cell’s furnishings as a rickety cot, a dirty mattress without sheets and pillow, a fetid toilet bowl. Rats scurry across the floor and water drips down the walls, he wrote.
“The cell is a space of 1 1/2 meters wide by 3 meters long (about 5 feet by 10 feet),” Vazquez wrote in one entry. “A barred door partially covered by a plate of steel. A barred window, through which enters the sun’s rays, the rain, the insects.”
Maybe it’s because the Red Cross isn’t allowed to visit any prisons on the island except the one at Gitmo.
Of course, it sounds like the Cuban government prisons don’t get their food from SYSCO:
While Vazquez said he gets three meals a day, he said the food is so bad it is “indescribable.”
Though perhaps some of the kids at college dining halls might echo the imprisoned journalist’s complaint.
