ecords officer, for example, can provide the courts a list of inmates who have already been overstaying in the Jail or those who have already served the maximum penalty. The courts may then prioritize the cases based on the inmates’ records. The BJMP and the Bureau of Corrections should coordinate with Quezon City Jail on how to deal with the four pangkat. All Quezon City Jail inmates who are sentenced for more than three years are transferred to Muntinlupa Penitentiary. But even when an inmate is already in Muntinlupa, he may maintain his communication with his cellmates in the Jail. The head of the pangkat in Quezon City Jail, for instance, submits his decisions to the head of his pangkat in Muntinlupa for comments and approval. The Commission on Human Rights can help the Jail establish a mechanism that will deal with the complaints of inmates and employees alike. The commission can also enlighten jail officers on the rights of inmates. Aside from pertinent government agencies, Quezon City Jail should strengthen its relationship with the NGOs. Jail management and the NGOs should chart long-term programs that will help inmates reestablish themselves not only while they are inside the Jail but even when they have already been released. Quezon City Jail should also link up with the business sector for the promotion and marketing of the livelihood products of its inmates. The business sector can help inmates develop their products into marketable items. Companies involved in the tie-up may also employ inmates upon their release. The BJMP Toward a Reformative Penal System Quezon City Jail has a “unique” brand of management because it has to accommodate the informal structures that inmates have devised. These structures are so deeply entrenched that they have become a vital component of jail management. The BJMP, therefore, has to review its manual and come up with one that reflects such reality. Provisions should be realistic enough as to effectively guide jail management in implementing its reformation programs. At present, the Quezon City Jail management applies provisions in the BJMP Manual rather arbitrarily because there are conditions that it has to consider, e.g., inadequate budget and personnel. Specifically, the BJMP should look into the existence of the Pangkat System, the Panunungkulan System, the black market, and the underground economy. There might be a way to incorporate these into the Manual in such a way that would maximize their usefulness and minimize the ill effects they bring about. Inmates who are sentenced with three years and below are rightfully rewarded for their exemplary behavior by being granted Good Conduct and 177
178 Freedom and Death Inside The Jail Time Allowance or GCTA. Only the Bureau of Corrections, however, has the sole authority to award GCTA. The BJMP can only make recommendations. This bureaucratic procedure can be dispensed with if the BJMP will also be given authority to award GCTAs, especially since inmates are directly under its responsibility. Reforms may not come soon but these suggested solutions, if anything, indicate that the severity of the problems in Quezon City Jail is rightfully acknowledged. That can be a good place to start.
