After 27 years in maximum and super-maximum security
prisons, on February 13, 2008, Puerto Rican political
prisoner Oscar López Rivera was moved to a medium
security prison. This is a result of his excellent
record in prison, but it is also due to the tremendous
vigilance and defense of his rights by the
organizations involved in the campaign for his and
Carlos Alberto Torres release. While he is still being
singled out for special, more onerous treatment,
including being required to report to prison staff
every two hours, this is the first time in almost
three decades that he is in a medium security prison.
Buoyed by the warm send-off from his fellow prisoners
at the USP (maximum), and by the warm welcome from
those at the FCI (medium), he will adjust to his new
surroundings.
