BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. has already ordered the translation of Mary Jane Veloso’s Indonesian prison records to English.
Veloso was arrested and sentenced to death in 2010 after 2.6 kilograms of heroin was found in her luggage, but narrowly escaped execution in 2015. He said this phase familiarizes new persons deprived of liberty like Veloso with the rules and regulations in the correctional facility, as well as PDLs’ rights and privileges in custody.
Veloso was first housed in a regular Quarantine Cell for medical observation during her quarantine period to check for any disability as well as for any physical or mental illness.
