Program eases POWs back home under new plan
Three prisoners of war released by North Vietnam are being eased into American life under a Pentagon program. Navy doctors say Operation Eyres Recap allows long-term prisoners to stay in overseas reception centers or hospital ships for up to nine days to readjust before returning home. Shorter-term prisoners may go home within weeks, as the trio did. The program also provides group counseling and legal aid to handle custody and marital issues, aiming to avoid premature evacuation and homecoming hoopla harming rehabilitation.
