MANILA, Philippines—The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) is eyeing to help the country in its food production security through the use of modern farm tools and the persons deprived of liberty (PDLs)
said the such plan is part of its five-year development roadmap to decongest and modernize prison facilities.
Catapang said part of the development plan is to construct regional prison facilities which will house only 2,500 PDLs per compound.Catapang said there are many idle lands on penal farms that can be converted or used for agro and acqua-culture sites to help the country attain food security. He said that minimum and medium security inmates will most probably be the ones drafted as farm workers due to security concerns for those convicted of heinous crimes.
