Drugs?

[Raquel]

I am a law student and I am interested in some information on what the consequences are for people caught selling illegal drugs in this country? Do police enforce capturing those selling or are they payed off? What are the jails like?
Where can I find out more info about this ??
Thanks

I am hoping this is just morbid curiousity but if not, don't do it, sell/use/traffic narcotics in the DR. You won't be getting back to the US for a while. You could possibly sit in a horrible little cell, I have heard that they are very horrible, and not even have a trial for a year or so.

Consequences: dire
Police enforce: Yes
Paid off : NO
Jails: Worse than you can imagine, Midnight Express was Cancun on the beach by comparison
Do NOT try to find out by going there and selling, buying ,smoking, snorting, or any other activity.

Some Americans have paid off the police to get out of jail. But don't for a minute think that it is easy or cheap. At best they will find out what your family is worth then hit them with an amount that will make them cringe. That is after they make you rot for a few months.
With a name like Raquel I am assuming you are female. If Busted you will be sexually assaulted. You will spend time in jail and you are looking at $ amount probobly well beyond your means to get out of jail.
I can drive 100mph down 27 de Febrero drinking from a bottle of rum, drunk off my ass with a 16 year old giving me oral gratification at the time and i will not see a jail. Caught with a gram a coke you will go to jail and you will have no friends in the DR.

Does that mean she says nice things about you , or something else? Inquiring minds want to know.

People I am not planning to do any of this. I just need some information for an essay I am writting for university.

To clarify some more I am interested not in what happens to the tourists who engage in this activity but the people who live there, the Dominicans. The reason I am constulting this web site is that I have got some useful information from it in the past. But boy do you people jump to conculsions, sometimes you should not read into these posts so much, take them from what they say!!
