The story of a recently released prisoner, from Netherlands media:

"The circumstances in the Cuban prisons are inhuman. They are overloaded and each prisoner has less than halve a square meter to live on. The corridors are overcrowded and a lot of prisoners are forced to sleep on the ground, because of a lack of beds. The food is scarce and has no nutritional value. Chicken is the only food that contains a bit of protein, which they only serve twice a month.

They don’t pay any attention to the prisoners and there is practically no medical help. I was located in one of the most severe prisons near Havana, together with two thousand other convicts. For these two thousand men, there were only six or seven doctors, and, for example, no possibility to realize blood tests, or to treat patients with diabetes. (…) Also for healthy prisoners it is hard to avoid illness considering the bad nutrition and the stress."

This isn't the equivalent of a supermax or Guantanamo. It's just a prison over there.
