Yet another flight full of repatriated former convicts from the United States landed at Las Americas International airport yesterday, Wednesday 22 August. About 60% of them were drug-related felons, and the remainder had served sentences for murder, fraud, false documents, kidnapping, robbery, assaults, sex offenses, arson and other crimes. The returning Dominicans came from penitentiaries across the US, from New York to California, and their arrival brings the total so far this year to 2,228, a 19% increase over the number repatriated over the same period last year. The former convicts were taken to the Migration offices in the Centro de los Heroes in Santo Domingo where they were fingerprinted and photographed before being taken to the Police headquarters and the DNCD (National Drug Control Department). The authorities said that there were still over 8,000 Dominicans in US jails and prisons.
