Costa Rica Carcel

Hi Ruth,
I just took a glance at your web page and read about Ruta and Carcel. I thought you might be interested in a few pics from a legendary Costa Rican prison, San Lucas. On an island, closed in the 1990’s, was made famous by a novel by a former inmate, La isla de los hombres solos. I’ll send a few more pics of: “el disco” the confinement cell underground and some grafitti from the walls some of it painted with human blood.

 The last grafitti is Oscar Arias, former president (and now he’s president again)!

Best,
Bob
