Inside The Largest Women's Prison in the Philippines | Free Doc Bites

Published 2023-12-12
The "Correctional Institution for Women" is the oldest and largest women's prison in the Philippines, founded in nineteen thirty-one. Designed for one thousand PDLs - "persons deprived of liberty" - today there are about three times as many. Prisoners range from petty criminals to drug dealers, from murderers to gang members. The guards are outnumbered. Your best bet at keeping prisoners under control: Strict rules that everyone must adhere to. Over and over again there are checks, to ensure no one has managed to escape. One hundred percent security is impossible! The inmates are allowed to deal with tools, gas-cannisters and knives. All potentially lethal weapons.
"The bedrooms and living quarters, the so-called "dorms", are spread over several buildings. Among the inmates are also so-called ‚High Value‘ PDL's‘. A huge compound, full of hardened criminals. In a jail where just a few dozen correction officers watch over several thousand prisoners, who roam freely during the day. For keeping control, the guards even work together with privileged inmates, that are allowed to punish the other ones.
This episode of Behind Bars tells not only his story, but also that of the inmates, and the environment of the prison and shows in impressive pictures how life behind bars works.

Overcrowding, corruption, unsafe. Typical prison setting. Very sad.

These guards are just evil people. There are lots of innocent people in Jail

"Everyone is equal under the law" unless you're rich. Also, a lot of people are falsely accused, so not everyone in jail is an actual criminal.
-
The justice system isn’t perfect. So there are always innocent people in prison.

Government officials, stop corruption & wake up.

Pati sa Thailand prison may South African din nakakulong. A 23 year old South African woman serving a long prison sentence for drug trafficking wrote an eloquent letter offering a glimpse into how it feels to be locked away in Thailand. Ashley Oosthuizen was found guilty of international drug trafficking after she signed for a package containing MDMA at the restaurant she worked at in Koh Samui, ‘Hot in the Biscuit,’ in late 2020.

This facility seems nuts

A number of young South African girls have been captured in Asian countries for trafficking, one black lady was caught with huge dreadlocks that were stuffed with drugs from South America, I think China is the country where she captured, the truth is that some people just want short-cuts in life, they deserve to be caught. We are all human, and we all have struggles but that doesn't give us the right to destroy other families' lives by selling/transporting drugs and being involved in any other criminal activities. I say this as a South African, Myself.
