概要
The 12-Day Prison War Ended by Fruit Cocktail.

On November 23, 1987, a federal prison employee arrived at work to an unsettling silence, followed by smoke, seized guards, and missing keys. What unfolded was a twelve-day siege involving 400 FBI SWAT operators at a burning fortress, yet not a single hostage lost their life. How did a fruit cocktail become the unlikely force that broke this standoff?

In this episode, we delve into the seven years of legal limbo for Cuban detainees that led to the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary riot. We explore the fragile trust between inmates and staff, the repatriation treaty that ignited the crisis, and the organized violence that erupted, leaving a crucial question unanswered: who was truly in control?
