Cuba was the second biggest prison in the world for journalists in 2008, second only to the People's Republic of China, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an international NGO.[88] As a result of computer ownership bans, computer ownership rates are among the world's lowest.[89] Right to use Internet is granted only to selected people and these selected people are monitored.[89][90] Connecting to the Internet illegally can lead to a five-year prison sentence.

Cuban dissidents face arrests and imprisonment. In the 1990s, Human Rights reported that Cuba's extensive prison system, one of the largest in Latin America, consists of some 40 maximum-security prisons, 30 minimum-security prisons, and over 200 work camps.[91] According to Human Rights Watch, political prisoners, along with the rest of Cuba's prison population, are confined to jails with substandard and unhealthy conditions.[91] Other dissident thinkers such as Yoani Sánchez are under tight surveillance.
