Bilibid puts up biometrics system for Christmas visitors

No bio, no entry.

The New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City has implemented a biometrics system for visitors who would visit their loved ones detained there.

In a report by Radyo Inquirer 990 AM, the NBP management said that the biometrics system was put in place to bust the existing practice of prostitution in the country’s largest jail compound.

Only immediate family members of inmates are accommodated in the NBP on Friday.
Security was tight in the NBP as the management conducted background check and verification on the visitors, aside from the biometrics system, to ensure that only immediate family members can enter the compound.

K-9 units were also deployed to check if the visitors attempted to bring explosives along with their food for Noche Buena.

The spouses of the inmates were also allowed on Thursday to spend the night inside the NBP.

Visitation hours on Christmas Day in the NBP are from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. AJH/With a report from Ruel Perez, Radyo Inquirer/IDL
