Plantados were political prisoners of the communist party of Cuba under Fidel Castro. Plantados were the most uncooperative of Cuba's political prisoners, and thus endured the harshest punishment. In 1961, the Cuban penal system introduced a progressive rehabilitation program. Prisoners who participated willingly attended political education classes and performed manual labor. They were generally treated better, allowed more visits and released sooner. Those who refused were called "plantados" - the immovable ones. They rebelled against forced-labor, working as slow as possible. Some died from the beatings they were given. Later, when regular prisoners were given blue prison uniforms, the plantados were left with only their underwear. For many years, Castro refused to free plantados who had once been his allies.
