DID YOU KNOW: Ratio of BJMP personnel to PDLs

/ 04:20 AM August 28, 2020

According to the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the total number of employees of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) in 2019 was at 15,062. This was only 33.3 percent of the 45,201 authorized manpower.

The actual ratio of BJMP personnel to persons deprived of liberty in 2019 was pegged at 1:9, which was far from the ideal ratio of 1:3. A total of 23 jail facilities were also completed last year. —Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
