The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) hosted a seminar workshop focusing on the revised implementing rules and regulations of the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) Law. The event aimed to prepare for the implementation of the revised guidelines and promote compassionate justice for persons deprived of liberty.
The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) held a seminar workshop on Republic Act 10592, commonly known as the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) Law, on Friday. This event served as preparation for the implementation of the law's revised implementing rules and regulations.
Justice Undersecretary Margarita Gutierrez, speaking at the event, emphasized the Justice department's commitment under Secretary Crispin Jesus Remulla to deliver compassionate and restorative justice for individuals deprived of liberty. Gutierrez stated that the initiative reflects more than just refining legal frameworks; it's about bringing life to them. She described the revised GCTA IRR as a beacon of hope, offering a structured pathway for PDLs (persons deprived of liberty) to reclaim their dignity, renew their purpose, and rebuild their lives. Gutierrez stressed that the GCTA is more than just a policy or a procedural guideline. It represents an opportunity for transformation, a chance for personal growth, and a possibility for reintegration into society. This reintegration happens with the full recognition of the inherent human dignity that should never be disregarded, regardless of past actions.This workshop underscores the government's focus on rehabilitation and reintegration within the criminal justice system. The revised GCTA IRR aims to provide a more transparent and equitable framework for granting GCTA benefits, potentially leading to earlier release for deserving inmates who demonstrate good conduct during their incarceration. The seminar provided a platform for BuCor officials, legal experts, and representatives from relevant organizations to discuss the new regulations, address concerns, and ensure a smooth implementation process
