Biography

Julio Monge Hernández was a Puerto Rican independence supporter imprisoned at Lewisburg. Executive Order 7731 identifies him in the 1937 federal prosecution of Julio Pinto Gandía and others. The 1939 solidarity committee roster confirms his actual imprisonment.

The Cuban committee’s April 12, 1939 manifesto individually lists him as actually confined at Lewisburg. This is contemporary prison-location evidence, not an admission date, a completed sentence or a new arrest. The pamphlet was published in December 1939 and reprints documents of several different dates.
