Capatang’s appointment paper was released last Friday, five months after being designated as the agency’s officer-in-charge.
“I had given him the same marching orders when he was designated as acting BuCor director general to help us clean up the jails and make jails more functional. To make it more humane to our PDLs . That is our commitment and obligation to the law,” Remulla told reporters. Aside from the New Bilibid Prison, BuCor also operates six other penal colonies–Davao Prison and Penal Farm, Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm in Palawan, San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm in Zamboanga, Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm in Occidental Mindoro, Leyte Regional Prison and the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong City.
