Prison after-care is work in progress, shall we say, with regard to Dominican prisoners released from Dominican jails and deportees are generally viewed as lower in the hierarchy of those deserving of help than the people released here (not saying I agree with that, just saying it is how it is, IMO).

There is an organisation called La Fundación Defensa del Dominicano en el Exterior (FUNDOEXTE) which last June set up a halfway house for deportees 'Casa Renacimiento y Solidaridad', at la Manzana A, #2 de la Urbanización Amarilis III, Autopista de San Isidro, Santo Domingo Este.

Crean casa para ayuda a dominicanos deportados

Phone nos. and email here:
Ayuda Total | Versión Imprimir. Fundación ofrece ayuda legal y médica a deportados de EE.UU.

There is also a National Police programme called 'Registry and control for the repatriated'.

Presumably started as a result of these sorts of pleas

I remember the news item Chiri is referring to - my recollection is that this was a pastoral function associated with a religious group, church or mission but whoever wrote that news will remember better than I do.
