Juan Guerrero González eagerly awaits his partner’s call each day, although he is not sure if it will happen, much less at what time.
And he won’t be able to call back if he misses it. Guerrero, who lives in Tampa, Fla., and Dainier Pérez Peña have been together since they met in Havana more than eight years ago.
Guerrero now only has one chance a day to speak with his partner because he is in an isolation cell at the Winn Correctional Center, a privately-run U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Louisiana. Pérez is allowed outside of his cell for a few minutes each day to take a shower, and it is only then when he is able to call his partner.
