Anything that was said on radios, interviews, or newspapers would get reported to Trujillo and if he felt in any way disrespected or threatened, the person responsible who get arrested and sent to the prison created by Trujillo called "Carcel La Cuarenta." In this prison, men would get their tongues cut off, fingernails pulled off, and many other tortures acts.
