The Constitution of the Dominican Republic (1992) at Art

The Constitution of the Dominican Republic (1992) at Art. 8 (1) refers to "the inviolability of life" and states: "Therefore, neither the death penalty, torture nor any other punishment or oppressive procedure or penalty that implies loss or diminution of the physical integrity or health of the individual may be established." The Dominican Republic has been fully abolitionist since 1966, and the death penalty was replaced with 30 years hard labor way back in 1911.
