The conduct of the Rafey prison guards is being praised for having saved hundreds of lives during the flooding caused by the waters flowing from the opened gates at Tavera Dam. The Dominican Republic's Attorney General, Radhames Jimenez Pena, told reporters from El Caribe that the heroic actions of prison staff deserved to be acknowledged by all. The 200 guards worked to get the 734 inmates from the Men's Prison and 86 from the Women's Prison to safety. According to the AG, "We could describe the prison guards as heroes, firstly, because they saved the inmates, and second, because these exemplary actions also helped save many of the people in the neighborhood of Rafey." Jimenez Pena went on to say that this sort of action should make people proud that there are still men and women with such courage and altruism.
