Around 4,000 inmates freed under Marcos admin so far — BuCor

An estimated 4,000 inmates have been released under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration, according to Bureau of Corrections director general Gregorio Catapang Jr. | SAbrogarINQ

“Unang-una po, ‘pag puwede na pong i-parole — naserve na po ang kalahati ng haba ng kanilang pagkakakulong — tinitingnan kung puwede nang ipa-parole, lalo na kung may mga edad na po at matatanda na. At [those with] good conduct… talaga pong pinagsisisihan na at nagbagong buhay na po,” he explained.

BuCor intends to begin the transfer of 7,500 inmates from the New Bilibid Prison to facilities all over the country this year, according to its chief. “Tinakda ko sa sarili ko na five years isasara na po itong New Bilibid Prison at magtatayo tayo ng New BuCor Global City. Commercial na po itong area natin, katabi ko lang dito Ayala Alabang, [Alabang] West, Portofino [Alabang],” stated Catapang.
