Prisons in the US are tied to a profit margin. And in Cuba, prisons are tied to, and the society is focused on, valuing the human being. So everything that they do, from the education to the fact that the healthcare system is free, to the entire approach of incarcerating someone, is tied to how do we make the most out of each individual, because the view is that the human is the most precious resource that their country has.
That is a very poignant quote from this article pointing out the main difference between capitalist and socialist incarceration. We seek to punish, and profit from, where Cuba, and other socialist countries, seek to rehabilitate and attempt to reintegrate the criminal back into society.

Colombia’s President has confirmed that USAID, along with other US agencies, fund entire sections of the country’s police and military. These security forces have committed many human rights abuses in the Americas over the years.

Mexico will ban unauthorized intelligence gathering from foreign countries under a new constitutional reform. U.S. agents, from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the CIA, have long had a strong presence in Mexico, and much of their work is classified.
The move comes in response to the Trump administration's designation of cartels as terrorist organizations, which many see as a prelude to military action. U.S. intelligence that claims to monitor the cartels may be a cover for other interventionist projects.

In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

The revolution cannot satisfy everyone and everybody. One of its sides always satisfies the toiling masses, while the other strikes at the overt and covert enemies of the masses.
It is therefore necessary to choose: either with the workers and poor peasants for the revolution, or with the capitalists and landlords against the revolution.

On March 12, 1946, in Budapest, Hungarian communists executed fascists and Nazi collaborators, including Ferenc Szálasi and Ladislas Baky.
These individuals were responsible for the torture and murder of thousands of members of the Hungarian Communist Party. They also handed over Jews and Roma people to the Nazis, who then sent them to death camps like Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.
