Santo Domingo.- National District prosecutor Yenny Berenice Reynoso said Sunday that it its Investigation Department’s database there are 1,593 people who skipped bail in drugs related cases.
She said the figure is cause for concern, noting that among others, most of those people managed to get bond alleging by telling the judges that they have roots in their communities, and even get affidavits issued from neighborhood boards, clubs, churches and corporate organizations.
The official said that some of the 1,593 people in contempt of court in drug-related cases have managed to get released after being arraigned and incarcerated, by getting a subsequent bond.
Civil society complicity
“It’s cause for concern that civil society institutions grant affidavits to people implicated in crimes, without properly observing their origin and root, for that reason I believe they should be more careful,” Reynoso said, adding that a large part of those people get released on bond and make a mockery of Dominican Republic’s Judiciary process, by becoming fugitives afterwards.

Well of course the number is high because the prisons are overflowing and we are in desperate need of a big new one and because bail ,normally at very high amounts , is readily given as an good source of income ,,with the prosecutors not protesting because they get a slice of the action ,The only drug offenders in prison are the ones who have no cash ,,,the little guys.
Late last year ,DT reported that all people charged with drug offences would not be eligible for bail...so I wonder when that rule takes effect.

Ms. Reynoso ... Be very wise and ensure you have personal security keeping you safe 24 hours a day. You have a very dangerous responsibility (as you know) and your value to your nation is priceless.
From: Dominican Republic, vieja Santo Domingo
so far ..all she has done is release to the public figures ..of more concern is why the police have not been able to trace these people who have skipped bail ..as I said above , it is important that the law that prohibits judges from granting bail to people charges with drug offences is implemented as soon as possible ,,,why the delay ???it was approved by congress

From: Dominican Republic, vieja Santo Domingo
yes maybe you are correct but i would have thought that would have been a part of the statistics,,,1593 skipped bail and a certain number have been detained and placed in prison. The probable reason the police do not go after them is because they have shared in th bail money

How many others have skipped bail for non drug related offenses?
Again the news release seems to be designed, to attract sensationalist publicity, for a an already very publicized sector of the crime statistics.
What is her intention to make this denouncement? To motion for change of the present laws?
To announce the judges granting these bails will be investigated and maybe better scrutinized?
Or to propose a better system for prevention of bail abuse, and elimination of the cash cow for prosecutors, DA's, judges and bailiffs?

With great judges like this and a brand new SUPER-MAX facility Dominicans would have a chance in actually saving and developing their nation.
First the prison would put 5,000 people to work for three years. Fill it up with drug criminals and less money would be needed for drugs sold on the streets...An immediate boost to the standards of living.
Convicted of drug trafficking, street selling and arranging soft judicial treatment should have term minimums starting at 10 years and moving right on to Life Imprisonment.

War on drugs revealed as total hoax - US military admits to guarding, assisting lucrative opium trade in Afghanistan!
Afghanistan is, by far, the largest grower and exporter of opium in the world today, cultivating a 92 percent market share of the global opium trade. But what may shock many is the fact that the US military has been specifically tasked with guarding Afghan poppy fields, from which opium is derived, in order to protect this multibillion dollar industry that enriches Wall Street, the CIA, MI6, and various other groups that profit big time from this illicit drug trade scheme.

Drug ‘offenders’ don't offend me, thieves do. If someone wants to smoke a bowl of hash or snort a line and can afford to pay for that, I have no problems. The so called offenders have family and social contacts to deal with their behaviour. Thieves -by stealth in the night or point of arms - do bother me. Let us prosecute people who offend society and not those that offend themselves. To wit: no second party victim - no crime. It is the job of the family and perhaps the church to assist in orchestrating personnel behaviour, not the state, on the other hand if there are laws that the great majority wish, enforce them even handedly.
From: Dominican Republic
@Grosero, it is a business and always will be. legalize it in US and tax it and demand will be controlled. until then the "worldwide" drug problem will remain in the hands of thieves and criminals-including the police and every other gov.t official here and there

We are still waiting for your evidence that Uncle Sam is behind Dominican drug laundering. Regardless, the drugs are mostly cocaine from Colombia, not heroine or opium from Afghanistan.
DomRat,
The addict is not the only victim of illicit drug use. Anyone who abandons their own health and welfare has even less concern for those they rob to finance their habit, or anyone they see as in the way of their next fix.
benwaballs,
Legalization and taxation will not solve the illicit drug problem. Alcohol and tobacco are legal and taxed, and they are still a bigger problem than all illicit drugs put together.

Observation ... What I find interesting is that the names of several thousand corrupt individuals in the DR is readily available for evaluation and careful consideration. The names and activities are so well documented that this list could easily be compiled and provided to several international entities for monitoring with the goal of detaining any unwanted criminal elements from DR.
The US, Canada, Schengen zones could all be easily supplied this information. But then I expect Uncle Sam is already making the notations.

They skipped bail? Big deal.
Since those released know they won't see their bond money again, whether or not they comply with their conditions, I can understand it's no big deal to them.
Solution: bail bonds like in the US, with everything and private bondsmen.
Remember not so long ago, released on bail meant case buried and scot free, with smiling fiscales and police officers.

FedericoD,
Obama is a smart politician - hey, he has the top job, and intends to stay there. That's why he is a regular church attendee. America has some very smart people, but the majority of the voting public are stupid. For example, more than 50% believe in the Biblical Creation, and hence no politician would dare admit to being an Atheist. However if you read some of his early speeches, where he criticizes passages of the Bible, he clearly doesn't believe in Jesus. It is a worry that the president of the most powerful country in the world can either be intelligent or honest, but not both.

In fact, if the war on drugs was ever won, it would be a financial disaster for law enforcement. There's so much dirty money funding law enforcement agencies that now, according to NPR, some police departments have become "addicted to drug money".
The second significant institutional incentive is of more recent origin, though it too has its beginnings in the Reagan era - the development of for-profit prison companies and their vast lobbying and political apparatus.
• Prisoners now manufacture and assemble products for Microsoft, Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, Boeing, as well as body armor for soldiers and handcuff cases for law enforcement officers.
• In 2007, taxpayers spent 74 billion on prisons, with the largest percentage increase of prisoners going to for-profit prison companies.
Putting people in jail and keeping them there is good for business.
