Danny Pata
By Danny Pata
A People Deprive with Liberty (PDL) offers a prayer before the image of a crucifix inside a chapel in Manila City on Sunday, July 10, 2022. The Bureau of Jail Management says for several years the country has had a perennial problem in jails: extreme congestion. Based on the jail bureau’s 2022 data Of the total number of jails in the Philippines, 336 are considered congested, equivalent to 70.59% of the total. Meanwhile, less than half of 140 jails (only 29.41%) are not congested. San Mateo Municipal Jail remains the country’s most congested jail with a 2,836% congestion rate. DANNY PATA
