John Long

Hartford Courant

Haitian refugees who landed in Florida looking for a new home during the Cuban migration were not given political status as were the Cubans. Most were detained as their fates were decided by the government. Some were sent to a prison in New York State, a place with a hostile environment to those from a tropical island. Their future seemed clouded.
