Santo Domingo. The National District’s new Prosecutor wasted no time in continuing her reputation as a tough DA earned during several years in Santiago, when early Tuesday sent to Najayo prison ex senator Tonty Rutinel, charged with beating his wife.
Yenny Berenice Reynoso, who took over the post of DA just last week, sent the former lawmaker to the high security facility after his refusal to leave a cell of the Ciudad Nueva Courthouse during 17 days, despite obtaining a bond of RDD$10 million for his release.
Rutinel, arrested December 14, had since refused to leave the Courthouse jail, affirming he wouldn’t do so until the court released him on his own recognizance.
Reynoso’s tough-nosed reputation earned her president Leonel Fernandez’s promotion from the DA post in Santiago to the Dominican capital.

He actually WAS in jail, and refused to leave the cell.
All she did was order his transfer.
I'm still waiting for the real show of force.

Actually he was in temporary detention, behind bars, until bond was posted. Since he refused to sign the bond papers, and made unreasonable demands for release, now he will be interned in Najayo
prison, where the going is tougher, and he won't be so much of a prima donna there.

Would the new DA would have sent to prison the ex-senator, if he had been a member of the ruling party the PLD? Instead of the opposition PRD which he is a prominent member?
Now THAT is the question.

Yenny, you are great for sure..... but I am just wondering if you are holding some things on L-F, will you dare to presecute him?????
If you do, you have my guts respect from my heart, if you do not, I still think you are better than the average prosecutors......

Jails in DR are no country club, unless you have a daily supply of cash being delivered to you, a 24/7 bodyguard inside, and an "understanding" with the prison bosses.
Even if you do, you are still incomunicado, and any medical emergency or criminal attempt on your life, could be terminal, as the red tape in order to get to a hospital is endless.
The "privilege and well connected" have to stay in their cocoon, otherwise they are harassed for money incessantly.
Still jail in DR is a nightmare and you are exposed to communicable diseases that are rampant, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, influenza, and the never ending cries of the prisoners at all hours.

Your abode in San Cristobál is paradise compared to the conditions in the DR jails. Unless they have improved significantly in one year, sanitary conditions are nonexistent, bathrooms with running water are few and none, and the noise level at all hours was nerve racking.
All that compounds with guards with serious psychological problems, and many sadistic individuals.
It is common practice for corporal punishment and whippings with a leather belt with metal studs, and a practice called "guindao" where the prisoner is handcuffed and suspended upright with the jail bars for days, for some petty offense. It is surely not a place for the weak at heart, and I have seen many a "tough guy" in hysterical tears after their first day in prison.

A good percentage have not yet been officially convicted, and awaiting trial. I ran into a friend of mine from high school doing hard time for land title fraud, and he was running a small "colmado" inside the prison, and (so he says) happy as ever, and making tons of money, that he didn't ever want to leave.
So for a guy who was in the 1% in the high society circles in Santo Domingo, that is quite a change.

Roy Stone..on official figures there are about 85% of prisoners still awaiting sentence so there is no reason why the Najayo prison should have a different percentage...It is higher in some small prisons ,,in la Romana ...it is a scandel ...You will not find many rich in prison with out a sentence

Well here is something a little more challenging than transferring prisoners, which the fine young prosecutor can ask her boss to let her look into:
File this one under extraordinary financial planner!
"The "arbitrary” Lieutenant Colonel “is the owner of an apartment in a luxury tower”
“According to documents provided to Acento.com.do by police sources, Liriano is the only officer in the last two decades, to have achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in only ten and a half years without being academic”
"SANTO Domingo, Dominican Republic.-The Lieutenant Colonel Johan Liriano Sánchez, who described himself as "arbitrary" when threatening to fabricate records for involvement in drug trafficking on several journalists, is a finnacial genius, with a salary which does not reach 19 thousand pesos a month it has managed to buy an apartment in a luxury Tower. (See the payroll list of national police)"

"The officer is a magician of finance, because his salary is barely 18 thousand 743 pesos to 85 cents per month, and managed to buy the property in a zone and in a tower where the apartments cost on average $450 000 US (RD$ 17.1 million), and if they are Penthouses, cost up to US$ 1 million (approximately RD$ 38 million)."

While you're fantasizing about what you'd like to do to her, she's already got you screwed, check-mate. Good on her!
