A San Cristóbal province judge ordered the convict Rolando Florián Féliz's incarceration in the cellblock with common prisoners at Najayo Penitentiary, in the wake of the discovery of a second tunnel through which the inmate presumably planned to escape. The finding was made during the works to remodel the prison at Monte Plata, where notorious convicted drug-trafficker and murderer was being held. "Respectfully, I address the court to inform of the newly-discovered by the Officer Supervisor and the warden of this prison compound the Model Jail of Monte Plata, that at the time of its remodeling (the jail) was discovered a hollow (hole) in the frontal part of the cell where the inmate Rolando Florián Féliz was held. Said hollow was covered with plaster and in the part of the right vertical side of the wall was another hollow also covered with plaster and painted so that it appeared normal," read the report dated November 28. However, he wasn't until the 6th of this month when the National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) informed the Justice Ministry of situation. Ironically, the discovery resulted from Florián's own request for transference, alleging that he was being treated in violation of penitentiary rules, including his being held in a maximum security cell, being kept from attending Sunday mass and denied visitors. |
