FROM CUBA Prison inmates complain of isolation 2k2v6b

HOLGUIN, Cuba - July 21 (Liannis Merio Aguilera, Jvenes sin Censura / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - Inmates at the provincial prison in Holgun, 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.
