REPLICA OF ISOLATION CELL
Image
Front view of prison isolation cell, door closed, as described by Dr. Oscar Biscet in a letter smuggled out of prison to his wife, Elsa Morejón.  The USINT/Havana Chief of Mission, James Cason, had this replica built, based on that description of the isolation cell in the Kilo 5 y Medio Prison in the westernmost Cuban Province of Pinar del Río.
