Hope for Release of 20 Americans in Cuban Prison
A Cuban prison holds 20 Americans jailed since the Bay of Pigs era on charges of counter revolution, many in failing health and separated from families. Lawyer James B. Donovan says a ransom approach helped some prisoners in the past, but no exchange is planned. Names and fates of several detainees across the United States are outlined, with reports of women prisoners and six on a yacht seizure. Some prisoners have received varying sentences from 10 to 30 years, while others await word on possible reunions. renewed hopes emerge for their release within months.
