The Prison on the Island of Pines, located 140 kilometers south of Havana, from its construction in the year 1927, it has harbored common prisoners from all Cuba, and some political prisoners in times of dictatorship.
The current tyrant of Cuba was one of those political prisoners, for reasons of attack to the Moncada garrison in Santiago de Cuba (July 26, 1953), who completed little imprisoned time, because he left by amnesty, and according to visits and missive that were send to his friends from that prison, he didn't have bad, since he had utensils to prepare his own food.
When the Tyrant took power January 1, 1959, everything changed in the Island of Pines, because the prison became a center for tortures and murders for political prisoners, and the thousands that went by its moats, dozens lost their live.
On August of 1967,, for reasons of reiterate accusations on the violations of Human Rights, or to transform the island into a center of citric production, the communists dismantled it, and ironically the name they give it was Island of Youth.


The Castle of San Carlos de la Cabana, well known as The Cabana, it was built by order of King Carlos II, between the year 1763 - 1774. The purpose of this castle was to defend the entrance channel to the bay of Havana.
Through the course of the years, the Spaniards used the castle like a jail for common prisoners, and when the beginning conspiracies to free Cuba, they housed Cuban patriots in their galleys, as the well-known Cuban poet Juan Clemente Zena who was tortured for months before being shot.
During the intervention of the United States, the Cabana stopped being a center of tortures and murders, the same as under the government of Estrada Palma (May 20, 1902), and in the second American intervention.
Starting 1906, the Cuban governments maintained the Cabana to house troops, and military jail. In the dictatorial stages of the republic, some political prisoners were housed in their cells for a short period of time.

From January 1, 1959, under the sinister Ernesto Che
Guevara, who took possession of the Cabana so soon as he
arrive in Havana, hundreds were shot, and later when the
Guerrillas Farmer, those that conspired in the cities, and
command groups of the exile were capture, thousands were
shot, tortured and murdered. |

The Prince's Castle is another of the constructions were Cuban anti Marxist Leninist of democratic conscience have been murdered, as the famous case of Pedro Luis Boitel.

The famous gloomy Headquarters of the Cuban State Security Police in Havana, well known as Villa Marista.
This property was stolen from the Maristas of the Catholic Church
by de communist; From their confiscation yet another of the communist
centers, where have been murdered, and all kinds of tortures have
been applied opponents Marxist system.
HORRORNevertheless, this it is not a prison, and until the moment we don't have confirmed murders by political causes, we expose it for the following reason:
The Psychiatric Hospital of Havana, well known as Mazorra, which was built in the republican time for house that mental illnesses, it was never used by the dictatorial governments to torture their detractors, but the communists have used it as a torture center.
Starting from the increment of peaceful organizations of dissident and opponents to the Marxist system, the communist regime alleging that some were "bad of the head", and confined them in Mazorra, and with electroshocks, drugs, and psychological interrogations, according to the case, to confess anti governmental activities, or to break their polemic personality toward the tyranny.
This barbaric procedure against some peaceful opponents, of course that they have been executed by doctors and male nurses of the State Security Police, which are documented in the story of several Dissidents that they were their victims.
We should score that most of the doctor, nurses and employees of the Psychiatric Hospital of Havana didn't have knowledge of these cases of HORROR.

The Castle of San Severino was ordered and build for the Spanish governor Severino of Manzaneda (1693), to protect the port of Matanzas; it is another of the structures were the communists have shot and tortured hundreds of anti communist patriots.
Today the Marxists have transformed it into a tourist place.
