The Real Cuba
Each dot represents not a tourist attraction, but a prison:
Via the Real Cuba:
During the Batista dictatorship, there were 11 prisons in Cuba. Now, as can be seen on the above map, there are over 300! The entire island is surrounded by prisons!The questions are: Why so many prisons in a country where everyone is supposed to be equal?
Why so many prisons in a country where the people are in charge?
Why so many prisons in a country that for 46 and a half years has been 'educating' the 'new man' that is supposed to be like Che?
Why so many prisons in a country where 99.9999% of the people 'vote' in favor of the dictator for life?

So how does a "correccional" differ from one of "rigor"?

A prison of "rigor" is one where the prisoner, likely, winds up released after rigor mortis sets in...
This chart illustrates the equality of Cuba's system. All who live therein are equally prisoners. There is only one kommandant. Nevertheless, many succeed in effectuating their Great Escape right under the nose of the unwashed kommandant klinko.

Val,
Esa imagen, en color por supuesto, y acompan~ada por una frase clave condenante del fidelismo, debe aparecer en t-shirts de Babalu.
Yo las compraria para toda mi familia en cuanto esten disponible.
Que piensas tu...?

And these same wackos talk about U.S. prisons. Where's the outcry about Cuba's "prison-industrial complex"?
