reports of corruption, following the confiscation of thousands of illegally-obtained contraband within the New Bilibid Prison last week.
The BuCor managed to confiscate 7,505 cans of beer, 1,340 deadly weapons, arms, and 1,142 communication devices such as laptops, pocket wifi, and cellphones within the New Bilibid Prison.The BuCor said that the numbers are from a consolidated report and with the developing investigation, they managed to find more cases of smuggled items within correctional facilities all over the country.
Catapang said that they already identified the vehicle that was used to smuggle the items inside the prison but are unable to disclose more information as the investigation is still ongoing. “We lack people, that’s why we don’t have the capacity to reshuffle the staff. We should add more people,” Catapang said, also proposing to solve the crisis by transferring inmates to less crowded facilities.
