Reshuffling order comes after a fresh round of surprise drug tests that show more inmates positive for substance abuse.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – South Cotabato Governor Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. on Friday, March 3, ordered a revamp at the provincial jail in Koronadal City, following a new drug incident involving 11 inmates.
Tamayo’s move came after public criticisms about the widely perceived lousy management of the provincial government-run prison facility. Vendor Lizanette Abas said the inmates clearly have no respect and fear of the jail warden and his guards. He said jail authorities need to implement drastic measures to really prevent illegal drugs from being sneaked into the SCDRC.
