Department of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla on Tuesday, Oct. 12, expressed hopes to build regional prison facilities in the next three to four years “to humanize the prison system.”
“The problem with the prison system now is that it is a mega prison and it does not bode well for persons who should be treated individually as is the practice now in prison reform,” he pointed out. “In the next three to four years, we may be able to build a few regional prisons already. We will see how it launches in the next 20 months as we are just finalizing the design and the financial model to be used,” he also said.
“Regionalization solves many problems. You also humanize the prison system, since the problem is it has become a mega prison. There is a need to humanize the prisons, to treat inmates as a person and not just a number,” he said.
