Why were even the 1200 captured 1961 CIA invasion prisoners themselves against
the Castro offer of 'Tractors For Prisoners' exchange?.

Maybe there was a better offer from the USSR? Less strings more equipment. I know Cuba became heavily dependent of Soviet machinery which became a liability during the Special Period.
