The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) on Tuesday submitted a special report to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the issues hounding the National Bilibid Prison (NBP).
According to Saleema Refran’s report on “24 Oras,” BuCor Director-General Gregorio Catapang Jr. said the recent violence between gang members, and the decapitated body found in a septic tank inside the penitentiary were connected and were caused by money and power struggles among inmates.
The BuCor chief did not give further details, but he said all the information on the issues inside the NBP were detailed in their special report. Over the weekend, the BuCor transferred several inmates from the NBP to the Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm in Occidental Mindoro. Catapang declined to confirm if included in the batch were the detainees he mentioned.
