A teenager killed himself after being locked in solitary without a trial for aaaages. They even have laws about when you are not entitled to a legal represtative and when you can be held idefinitely. They also have an illegal detention centre on foreign communist soil to subvert their own laws. The UK has similar over reaching laws. Besides Tate was a flight risk so was held pending investigation.

We started renting it from Batista, the guy the Cuban revolution was against. The Cuban communists have never cashed a check for it and insist we’re illegally occupying it
