Emergency Services

Arrests

If you or any American citizen are arrested in Cuba, ask the authorities to notify a consular officer at the U.S. Interests Section immediately.

We can not get you, or anyone, out of jail (because you are subject to Cuba's laws), but we can help protect your legitimate interests and ensure that you are not discriminated against.

We can also provide a list of local attorneys, visit you in jail and, if you wish, contact members of your family on your behalf. We can also transfer money, food and clothing to prison authorities from your relatives for your benefit.
