This prison was the location of the November 1987 Cuban riots. Hostages were taken and buildings were burned down. http://articles.latimes.com/1987-11-23/news/mn-15900_1_detention-center Although some of the details are incorrect. There was a pregnant female who was taken hostage. The inmates found out about the deportation from watching the news and they were not spoken to prior to that to assuage their fears. The warden refused to heed warnings from INS about the potential riot and was instructed to not let them watch television the night the news aired, but he ignored it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.72.131.47 (talk) 04:01, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
