	Cuba's Marielitos - Imprisoned Without Trial and the Harsh Realities of U.S. Prisons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The persecution of the 750 Marielitos by the United States is a disgraceful violation of their constitutional rights under the rule of law in the Ubited States and the right of all Americans to live under a law-abiding government in Washington.
		The Marielito discovers, to his amazement, that he, in America, his imaginary paradise, is tortured, raped, degraded, and humiliated relentlessly and savagely in a disregard for human rights that is inconceivable anywhere in Cuba, except at the notorious US concentration camp at Guantanamo.
		The Marielitos will be warned by the prison authorities, of course, before they're released, to keep their mouths shut about the truth concerning US prisons -- an immense system of barbarism and savagery that holds nearly 4,000,000 people (and rising) in the most inhumane and degrading circumstances.

		Moreover, the characterization of Marielitos as "criminals or social misfits" is a totally false image.

		Those Cubans who come here illegally are called "Balseros" or "Marielitos"...they're not really the same, since "Marielitos' are the people who came here when Castro opened the Mariel harbor and let boats "escape" to America, however, they are often grouped in with the "Balseros".
		The reason "Marielitos" tend to get grouped in with these people is that Castro basically opened up the Mariel harbor to the US to get rid of all the criminals in his jails.
		Some are just as malign as the infamous gangster, while others tend to be small time crooks, and don't amount to much else.
