In this episode of Rattling the Bars, TRNN Executive Producer and former Black Panther Eddie Conway discusses the differences between prisons in Cuba and in the United States. Of the two, only one incarcerates children, only one deliberately isolates prisoners from their families and communities, and only one uses long-term solitary confinement as a routine punishment—and it’s not Cuba. “In Cuba you don’t have solitary confinement,” Conway says. “Because that’s inhumane.”

  1. Where did you get this information my friend? You have no idea what you’re talking about. In Cuban prisons people die of hunger, get beat daily, no running water, feces everywhere, poor hygiene which leads to diseases, no medication or medical attention. Prisons here are hotels compared to Cuba, and they do have juvenile and solitary cells. This is the lie the Terrorist Fidel Castro and his family have told the world and have brainwashed everyone. I’m Cuban, born and raise, can tell you not only Cuban prisons are probably the worst, but the entire fucking country it’s a prison too. I’m glad to be an American, will never go back to that shitty hellish country, and in my opinion, no tourist should go there either, you’re one step away from being lock up in one of these nice 5 star hotel resorts, yeah, good luck with that because in Cuba mostly everything you do as a normal human here in the US, there is considered a crime.

  2. This is wild. More reasons why to admire Cuba. I miss being down there, they really have a decent amount of things they do better than the US but you never hear about them. 🇨🇺

  3. LIES there are 545 prisons in Cuba over 100 for minors and youth , cuba is 50,000 to 1 population for its prisons just this year over 1,000 political prisoners , why does The African American community support the Cuban regime that is killing and locking up Black folks everyday ? Where do you guys get this data from ?

  4. All propaganda. US prisons are bad but not as bad as Cuban. Cuban prison system is among the worst in the world.

  5. All fine and dandy but in CUBA there's no such thing as freedom of speech and expression. In Cuba you can end up in prison for merely speaking against the government. I think the report lacks a little bit of context in regards to the authoritarian government that rules Cuba.

  6. They beat you when your a child …murders get murderered….involuntary with cops are worst…..right now they are starving, they can't get any medicine

  7. US: Has the highest incarceration and capital punishment rates in the world, locks migrants in cages. Migrant children go missing.

    Also US: "Thank your 50 stars you don't live in countries like Cuba China Venezuela or North Korea. Those countries are run like prisons"

  8. Imprisonment of children is child abuse. They are not mature enough to vote, drink, raise themselves, be emancipated…, yet they can fully understand their actions, tried as adults, imprisoned and be placed in solitary confinement. Guess who else considers 12, 13, 14… year olds as being adults.

  9. Deuteronomy 28:
    49  THE LORD SHALL BRING A NATION AGAINST THEE FROM FAR, FROM THE END OF THE EARTH, AS SWIFT AS THE EAGLE FLIETH; A NATION WHOSE TONGUE THOU SHALT NOT UNDERSTAND;

    50  A NATION OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE, WHICH SHALL NOT REGARD THE PERSON OF THE OLD, NOR SHEW FAVOUR TO THE YOUNG:

    51  AND HE SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THY CATTLE, AND THE FRUIT OF THY LAND, UNTIL THOU BE DESTROYED: WHICH ALSO SHALL NOT LEAVE THEE EITHER CORN, WINE, OR OIL, OR THE INCREASE OF THY KINE, OR FLOCKS OF THY SHEEP, UNTIL HE HAVE DESTROYED THEE.

    68  AND THE LORD SHALL BRING THEE INTO EGYPT AGAIN WITH SHIPS, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: AND THERE YE SHALL BE SOLD UNTO YOUR ENEMIES FOR BONDMEN AND BONDWOMEN, AND NO MAN SHALL BUY YOU.

    These prophecies ring so true when you think of black people in America today whose ancestors came via the Transatlantic Slave Trade; and whose enemies or people that hate them, still rule over them; and that as many times as they have tried, i.e. MLK via Civil Rights Act, Malcolm X via any means necessary, Fred Hampton via Black Panthers, Minister Farakan via Million Man March, Black Lives Matter Movement, American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS), and any other social justice movement will not redeem them or buy them out of this condition. Why?

    Deuteronomy 28:
    45  MOREOVER ALL THESE CURSES SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND SHALL PURSUE THEE, AND OVERTAKE THEE, TILL THOU BE DESTROYED; BECAUSE THOU HEARKENEDST NOT UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD THY GOD, TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HIS STATUTES WHICH HE COMMANDED THEE:

    46  AND THEY SHALL BE UPON THEE FOR A SIGN AND FOR A WONDER, AND UPON THY SEED FOR EVER.

    So the only way out is to return to Father YAH, who is currently forefilling HIS prophecy to destroy the nations that harmed HIS people after 400 years of affliction or punishment:

    Genesis 15:
    13  AND HE SAID UNTO ABRAM, KNOW OF A SURETY THAT THY SEED SHALL BE A STRANGER IN A LAND THAT IS NOT THEIR'S, AND SHALL SERVE THEM; AND THEY SHALL AFFLICT THEM FOUR HUNDRED YEARS;

    14  AND ALSO THAT NATION, WHOM THEY SHALL SERVE, WILL I JUDGE: AND AFTERWARD SHALL THEY COME OUT WITH GREAT SUBSTANCE.

    So if we hold on, we will understand what happened to us, and how we can move to call on our Elohim to get out of it:

    Ezekiel 39:
    21  AND I WILL SET MY GLORY AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND ALL THE HEATHEN SHALL SEE MY JUDGMENT THAT I HAVE EXECUTED, AND MY HAND THAT I HAVE LAID UPON THEM.

    22  SO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD FROM THAT DAY AND FORWARD.

    23  AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WENT INTO CAPTIVITY FOR THEIR INIQUITY: BECAUSE THEY TRESPASSED AGAINST ME, THEREFORE HID I MY FACE FROM THEM, AND GAVE THEM INTO THE HAND OF THEIR ENEMIES: SO FELL THEY ALL BY THE SWORD.

    24  ACCORDING TO THEIR UNCLEANNESS AND ACCORDING TO THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS HAVE I DONE UNTO THEM, AND HID MY FACE FROM THEM.

    25  THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; NOW WILL I BRING AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF JACOB, AND HAVE MERCY UPON THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND WILL BE JEALOUS FOR MY HOLY NAME;

    26  AFTER THAT THEY HAVE BORNE THEIR SHAME, AND ALL THEIR TRESPASSES WHEREBY THEY HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST ME, WHEN THEY DWELT SAFELY IN THEIR LAND, AND NONE MADE THEM AFRAID.

    27  WHEN I HAVE BROUGHT THEM AGAIN FROM THE PEOPLE, AND GATHERED THEM OUT OF THEIR ENEMIES' LANDS, AND AM SANCTIFIED IN THEM IN THE SIGHT OF MANY NATIONS;

    28  THEN SHALL THEY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD, WHICH CAUSED THEM TO BE LED INTO CAPTIVITY AMONG THE HEATHEN: BUT I HAVE GATHERED THEM UNTO THEIR OWN LAND, AND HAVE LEFT NONE OF THEM ANY MORE THERE.

    29  NEITHER WILL I HIDE MY FACE ANY MORE FROM THEM: FOR I HAVE POURED OUT MY SPIRIT UPON THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD GOD.

    Be Blessed!
