Taiwanese ambassador Eduardo Cheng, quoted in Listin Diario, says that jails in the DR need to improve, as well as the penitentiary system as a whole. He continued by saying that an education system needs to be set up so that once young prisoners finish their sentences they don't fall back into the trap of crime. He says that living in jail in the most basic conditions leads many offenders to reject society.
Cheng also commented that he is ready to start a few projects in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture. Cheng says that he plans to meet with the Agriculture and Health ministries on 8 May to discuss the scope of possible projects.
