In a Saturday statement, the Commission on Human Rights backed the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology's appeal for an increase in the budget allocation for food and medical allowances for inmates.According to the CHR, the 2024 daily food allocation for persons deprived of liberty was P70, while the budget for medicine was capped at P15 per PDL.These amounts have remained unchanged since 2022, despite the ongoing economic challenges.
"Articles 7 and 10 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights state that persons deprived of liberty should be treated with humanity and with respect for the dignity of an individual," said the CHR."Article 10 also mandates that correctional systems should be designed to rehabilitate and assist with the social reintegration of inmates.
