Radamés Acosta Cepeda is identified in the police roster of a May Day labor march in Puerto Rico in 1980. A contemporaneous report of the same march records Luis Amaury Suárez stating that Acosta had spent three months imprisoned under the Taft–Hartley law. This is an attributed report of actual prior labor-related imprisonment; the date, individual charge and institution are not established. The police report dated May 2, 1980 records Suárez saying Acosta had actually been imprisoned for three months. The reported month component is preserved without conversion to days. The date of the speech is not an arrest, admission or discharge date. The claim that he was the first person imprisoned under that law is not independently adopted.
