My sister-in-law’s father-in-law was a political prisoner for six years in the 1960s. He’s elderly now, and I have hesitated to ask him about this issue for fear of bringing up a sore subject.
Recently, at a family get-together, he spoke of an experience of his imprisonment and his eventual release. We had the TV on, and there was a commercial for a Rolex watch. He said while in prison he attempted to bribe a government official by giving him his watch. The official agreed to help him escape, but nothing ever came of it. The man was eventually released, went to Puerto Rico to reunite with his family, and they eventually moved to New York and then Miami.
He added that he met his old jailer on a Miami street and confronted him about the Rolex. The man recognized him, and handed the watch over to him.
I turned to his wife and asked her her views on this. She was emphatic in her support of opening relations. She said the old policy was a failure, it has been a long time, we all needed to move on, and the embargo has only hurt the Cuban people.
