Convicted Cuban spy wants transfer to Florida prison

One of the five Cuban spies convicted as part of the “Wasp Network” requested a transfer to a medium-security prison in northwestern Florida to make it easier for his mother to visit him, according to supporters.
Antonio Guerrero, serving a 22-year sentence on an espionage conspiracy charge, wrote in an email to supporters that he arrived Jan. 11 at the Marianna federal prison after his transfer from the Florence facility near Puebla in Colorado.
He gave no reason for the transfer, but Gloria La Riva, coordinator of the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, said Guerrero asked for the change so that his mother could visit him more easily.
Mirta Rodríguez, a Havana resident and about 70 years old, had to take three different flights to Colorado during each of her previous trips to visit her son, La Riva added.
