A total of 128 Dominicans who have finished serving their sentences in United States jails, 90% of whom are connected to drug or homicide charges returned to the DR on a chartered flight yesterday. This year 523 people who served their terms in federal prisons have been deported from the US to the DR. The returnees were escorted by four FBI agents, and were immediately handed over to the DR immigration authorities at the airport. From the terminal, they were taken to the National Police Headquarters and then on to the Migration Department, before finally being taken to the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) where they were freed and reunited with their families - providing there were no charges pending against them in the Dominican courts. According to the former inmates' files, as well as drugs and homicides, the list included counterfeiters, assailants and sex offenders. This group came from jails and prisons in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Antonio, New Jersey and other places. Over 4,000 Dominicans are currently serving time in US prisons.
