Module 3: Institutional Correction

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying this module, the students are able to;
1. Know the Prison System-based Approach.
2. Know the different Prisons that are known to the world.
3. Analyze the livelihood programs of different prisons and penal farm in the
Philippines.
3.1 The Philippine Prison has Two System-based Approaches
1. Institutional Corrections – Offenders found guilty and sentenced by the Courts for
confinement are categorized based on their length of sentence into either a municipal,
city provincial or national prisoner and they will be sent accordingly to either a
municipal, city provincial or national prison facilities based on these categorizations.

o The Courts and entities authorized to commit a person to prisons and jails
are;

 Supreme Court
 Court of Appeals
 Regional Trial Court
 Metropolitan Trial Court
 Municipal Circuit Trial Court

CORRECTIONAL ADMINISTATION 1
JO2 Mart Law Ocampo, RCRIM 6
  Municipal Trial Court
 Board of Transportation
 Deportation Board
 Commission on Elections
 National Prosecution Service
 Police Authorities
 All other administrative bodies as may be authorized by law.

2. Non – Institutional Corrections – refers to that method of correcting sentenced

offenders without having to go to prisons.

o Advantages for Government

a. Offender’s family need not suffer since the offender will not be separated
from them and he will be able to go on with his life and livelihood thereby
enabling him to support his family.

b. Community will also bi involved so that crime becomes less hard to control.

o Advantages of Community-Based Correction

a. Family member need not be victims because of the offenders’ imprisonment

b. Rehabilitation will be more effective as the convict will not be exposed to

hardened criminals in prisons who will only influence him to a life of crime.

c. Rehabilitation can be monitored by the community thus corrections can be

made and be more effective.

d. cost of incarceration will be eliminated which is extremely beneficial to a

cash-strapped government

 Amenities: Slaves were rumored to literally live on top of each other while
waiting to be sold

Prior to France abolishing the slave trade in 1848, thousands of slaves were sent
to Goree Island. As one of the 19 "communes of arrondissement" in Dakar, it is
the smallest and least popular, but will always be remembered for its place on the
Atlantic slave trade. Its Maison des Esclaves, or "House of Slaves," is located on
the island, serving as a museum-tribute to the slave trade on the island. It's been
disputed how many, if any slaves were held here, but visitors and world leaders
continue to recognize the location's importance.

6. Kresty Prison

Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia

Notable Residents: Leon Trotsky
Amenities: Features an internal museum dedicated to the history of the prison

The prison's origins date back to the 1730s, when it was used as a warehouse for
all of the wine in Saint Petersburg. The Emancipation reform of 1861 created the
need for a formal prison, and in 1867, the complex was remodeled into a prison
for men and women. However, the prison quickly became too small to hold
incoming prisoners, so a new prison was built. Inspired by the Philadelphia
system, architect Antony Tomishko built a new prison that was finally completed
at the end of the 19th century. It was one of the first buildings in Russia to use
electric lighting, sufficient heating, and ventilation. During the days of Imperial
Russia, the prison was used to hold political prisoners and common criminals. The
prison was stormed during the February Revolution in 1917; prisoners were freed
and all paperwork was destroyed.

McNeil Island is a six-square-mile segment of land north of Anderson Island,

separated from Key Peninsula by Pitt Passage. The government purchased the
island in 1870, and five years later McNeil Island Corrections Center opened for
business. It was originally used as a territorial correctional facility before coming
under the direction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The state began leasing it to
the government during the early 1980s.

JO2 Mart Law Ocampo, RCRIM 12
 Haute. USP Terre Haute is a high-security section that is used to house male
inmates, and contains a Special Confinement Unit that holds prisoners bound for
death row.

FCI Terre Haute is the medium-security section, also for male inmates. It features
a Communications Management Unit that houses inmates who need to be
watched closely to make sure that they do not pose a threat to other prisoners,
inmates, or themselves.

9. Fremantle Prison

Location: Western Australia

Notable Residents: Bon Scott (lead singer of AC/DC)
Amenities: An impressive art gallery

On this 15-acre site, you can find the former prison, gatehouse, cottages,
perimeter walls, and even prisoner art. The prison was built during the 1850s and
transferred over to the government during the latter part of the 19th century to
house local prisoners. Early prisoners were literally shipped in, but this practice
ceased during the 19th century, and as a result the prison's population dropped off.
The prison saw significant expansion during the early 20th century, including a
Panopticon that housed death row.

10. HM Prison Maze

JO2 Mart Law Ocampo, RCRIM 13
 Location: Maze, Northern Island
Notable Residents: Bobby Sands (Officer Commanding of the Provisional IRA)
Amenities: If you didn't wear your assigned uniform, guards wouldn't let you use
the bathroom

Better known as the Maze, Her Majesty's Prison Maze was a maximum security
facility in Northern Island. It was used to hold paramilitary prisoners during the
height of the Troubles.

The prison opened in 1971, and was soon filled with political prisoners. Prisoners
convicted of crimes after March 1, 1976, were sent to live in a new section of the
prison known as "H-Blocks." These were eight new compounds created for
prisoners who did not have Special Category Status, and identified themselves as
political prisoners. Because they believed their uniforms were for criminals and
not political prisoners, they refused to wear them. They were not allowed to wear
their clothes, so they wrapped themselves in blankets. Guards would not grant
them bathroom access until they wore their clothes, so they started defecating in
their cells, smearing it on the walls. This was known as the "dirty protest."

3.3 PHILIPPINE PRISON SYSTEM

1. NEW BILIBID PRISON

o Old Bilibid Prison

CORRECTIONAL ADMINISTATION 1
JO2 Mart Law Ocampo, RCRIM 14
  It also known as Carcel y Presidio Correccional (Spanish, "Correctional
Jail and Military Prison") occupied a rectangular piece of land that was
part of the Mayhalique Estate in the heart of Manila.
 The old prison was established by the Spanish colonial government on 25
June 1865 via royal decree.
 It is divided into two sections: the Carcel, which could accommodate 600
inmates; and the Presidio, which could hold 527 prisoners.
 During World War II and the occupation of the Philippines by Japan, Old
Bilibid and New Bilibid Prisons were used as Prisoner of War (POW)
camps, hospitals for POWs, and transit centers for POWs being transferred
to other locations, primarily to Japan. More than 13,000 POWs, the great
majority of them are Americans, were processed at these Manila area
facilities during World War II.
 The liberated POWs and internees at Old Bilibid numbered 1,200,
including 700 soldiers and 500 civilians. The civilian internees remained
in Bilibid for another month until the Battle of Manila concluded with the
Japanese defenders wiped out.

o The projected increase in the prison population prompted the government to plan
and develop a new site for the national penitentiary. The growing urbanization
of Manila and constant lobbying by conservative groups fueled the idea of
transferring the Old Bilibid Prison to a new site, which at the time was considered
remote and on the outskirts of the urban center.
o Accordingly, Commonwealth Act No. 67 was
enacted, appropriating one million pesos for
the construction of a new national prison in
Muntinlupa.
o On November 15, 1940, all inmates of the Old
Bilibid Prison in Manila were transferred to the
new site. The new institution had a capacity
of 3,000 prisoners and it was officially named
the New Bilibid Prison on January 22, 1941.

days) before classification is conducted.

o The NBP expanded with the construction of new security facilities;

 Maximum-Security Facility or Main Building – The Reception and

Diagnostic Center that receives newly committed prisoners coming from
the jails nationwide. Inmates accepted by the RDC will be studied and
classified, the purpose of which, is the formulation of the individualized

 regime that Puerto Princesa was designated as a place where offenders sentenced
to banishment were exiled.
o A specific area of Puerto Princesa was selected as the site for a correctional
facility. The American military carved out a prison facility in the rain forest of
Puerto Princesa.
o Governor Luke Wright authorized the establishment of a penal colony in the
province of Palawan on
November 16, 1904. This
penal settlement, which

the conditions for the
settler’s stay in his land,
loan requirements and
marketing of the settlers’
produce. Lots granted did
not exceed 6 hectares.
o On August 16, 1959, a
committee was created by
President Carlos P. Garcia to study the state of national prisons.
o Accordingly, prisoners in Iwahig were divided into two groups:
 The SETTLERS and the COLONIST
 The settlers are those engaged in farming for their own benefit;
they are the ones whose applications for land to cultivate have
been approved.
 The government
