The Attorney General of the Dominican Republic has sent 31 inmates from the Puerto Plata Model Jail to "real" jails throughout the country, including the infamous 15 de Azua. The 31 inmates had staged a riot in the model prison, where conjugal visits are allowed and specialized prison guards, not police or army personnel, are on duty.
