Biography
Olga Viscal Garriga was a young Puerto Rican independence-movement spokeswoman jailed after the 1950 Nationalist uprising. She was sentenced on dozens of contempt counts (about 930 days) along with uprising-related charges, refusing to recognize U.S. jurisdiction over Puerto Rico.
Dávila Marichal reports that Olga Viscal Garriga spent fifteen months in pretrial imprisonment at La Princesa and Arecibo following the 1950 repression. This detention is distinguished from her separate contempt prosecution; no exact admission or discharge dates are supplied.
