This is the untold story of one of the most intense prison standoffs in U.S. history. In 1987, Cuban detainees at a federal penitentiary rebelled, taking nearly 100 guards hostage and setting the prison ablaze. As fires raged and chaos mounted, the lives of everyone inside hung in the balance. The FBI had to navigate an impossible situation, facing off against thousands of enraged inmates while trying to save hostages. A single decision to hold back a rescue mission could mean a death sentence for innocent employees, including one who came face-to-face with the prison's most vicious killer. The stakes were at their highest when a media report almost triggered an unimaginable tragedy. Follow along as we recount the harrowing 12-day conflict and the high-stakes decisions that led to its astonishing conclusion.
