Approaches in Philippine Correction
1. Community-Based Approach – Not all convicted offenders have
to serve their sentence behind bars. Some of them are allowed to
stay in the community, subject to the conditions imposed by the
court. They are either granted probation, parole, or recognizance.
The Parole and Probation Administration under DOJ is the
government agency that supervises activities.
