Biography

Antonio Camacho Negrón was a member of Los Macheteros arrested in the August 30, 1985 mass FBI raid in Puerto Rico for his role in the September 12, 1983 Wells Fargo expropriation in West Hartford, Connecticut. He was convicted at trial in 1989 in U.S. District Court in Hartford. After serving his federal sentence he returned to Puerto Rico, where he later refused to comply with U.S. probation supervision and was returned to federal prison; he was finally released in 2014.

Workers World describes Antonio Camacho Negrón as recently released from United States federal prison when he attended the September 23, 2006 event at El Maestro in the Bronx. The article provides contemporary evidence of release before that event, but no exact discharge date. It should not be interpreted as proof of uninterrupted imprisonment until a later release. Workers World, October 5, 2006, vol.48 no.39, original PDF page 8. Source: https://www.workers.org/pdf/2006/ww100506.pdf#page=8

The Summer 1995 Breakthrough prisoner-support directory lists Antonio Camacho, with historical prisoner number 03587-069, at FCI Allenwood, PO Box 2500, White Deer PA 17887. This is the directory’s historical correspondence address, not a current mailing instruction or present custody claim. It supplies no admission, transfer or release day and no completed custody total.

The July 28, 1999 presidential memorandum individually states that Antonio Camacho-Negron was actually released on February 13, 1998 and then reincarcerated for parole violations. The formal grant separately records June 8, 1989 sentencing to fifteen years plus a fine. The 1999 clemency for him remitted a fine; it did not establish discharge from prison. The first physical release is now preserved as a distinct partial custody-phase record with unknown admission. The existing long-span row’s 10,577-day counter included an actual period outside prison and has been removed. The precise readmission, complete served total and source for the later 2014 endpoint remain unresolved. No continuous 1985–2014 custody is asserted.

Original presidential record, PDF pages 11, 23, 38, 39, 40; Justice Department, August 11, 1999 advisory.

The original BOP appeal summary prints Antonio Camacho Negron’s DOB as October15,1945, while his individual clemency petition prints October4,1945. Only the shared October1945 MONTH is entered; the day conflict remains unresolved. October1 is a storage placeholder, not an asserted birthday.

The individual BOP original-jurisdiction appeal summary records Antonio Camacho Negron, register03587-069, at FDC Miami with a term that BEGAN April16,1998 and twelve months already served at the1999 appeal. This is actual return to custody after mandatory-release revocation, distinct from the independently recorded February13,1998 physical release. No anticipated May2002 discharge is entered as actual release, and no uninterrupted1985–2014 total is inferred. The Allenwood arrival on January25,1999 is a transfer within this episode.

Cases

Charges: Federal seditious conspiracy and racketeering — 1983 Wells Fargo expropriation in West Hartford, Connecticut
Arrested: Aug 29, 1985
Sentenced: Jun 8, 1989
Incarcerated: Aug 29, 1985
Released: Aug 14, 2014
Sentence: Fifteen years imposed June 8, 1989: ten years on Count Thirteen and five consecutive years on Count Sixteen, plus $100,000 fine. Original presidential memorandum individually confirms actual February 13, 1998 release, followed by reincarceration for parole violations. This legacy composite row is not uninterrupted 1985–2014 custody; the 10577-day continuous total is unsupported and removed. Exact initial jail admission, readmission and the separately recorded 2014 endpoint still require original episode-specific corroboration. The known initial release is preserved in a distinct partial phase row; no sentence arithmetic supplies a missing admission or duration.
Convicted: Yes
Charges: Initial custody phase in Connecticut Wells Fargo-related prosecution; actual release to parole
Released: Feb 13, 1998
Sentence: Individual presidential memorandum records actual release February 13, 1998, followed shortly thereafter by reincarceration for parole violations. The initial admission and later readmission days are not established here. This first physical endpoint is separate from the legacy composite row’s 2014 endpoint; no additional prison interval or exact served total is inferred.
