Aquino to lead Bureau of Jail Management and
Penology officials and employees in commemorating it's 21st year anniversary
President Benigno S. Aquino III will lead the
officials and employees of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) in
commemorating its 21st Year Anniversary that will be held at the Multi-purpose
Hall of Camp Crame in Quezon City on Monday.
Joining the President will be Jail Chief
Superintendent Diony Mamaril and Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse
Robredo.
As part of its 21st year anniversary rites, the
BJMP recently unveiled its 10-year roadmap which focuses on the humane
safekeeping and development of inmates.
The BJMP said in a statement that the roadmap
aims to give an entirely constructive light to the system of imprisonment in
the country that includes programs for inmates that “promote a purpose-driven
incarceration, apart from its traditionally vindictive intent as punishment to
a harm done.”
“Ensuring the security of inmates and centering
on their welfare and development while under custody remain to be the priority
thrusts of BJMP,” the statement said. (rck)
