 MODALITIES IN THE TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS IN THE
PHILIPPINES

Like many countries, the correctional system in the Philippines

has both an institution-based and a community-based component.
It also has separate treatment systems for youth offenders and
adult offenders. The custodial care of adult offenders is handied
by the following:

1. The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) under the

Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has supervision
over all district, city, and municipal jails and detention centers. These jails
house detainees awaiting judicial disposition of their cases and offenders
whose sentence range from one (1) day to three (3) years.
 MODALITIES IN THE TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS IN THE
PHILIPPINES

2. The Provincial Governments, which have supervision and

control over provincial jails. These jails house court detainees and
prisoners whose prison terms range from six (6) months and nd
one (1) day to three (3) years.

3. The Bureau of Corrections (BUCOR) under the Department of

Justice (DOJ), which has control over the national penitentiary and
its penal farms, houses convicted offenders with prison sentences
ranging from three (3) years and one (1) day to life imprisonment.
PROBATION- Is a procedure under which the court releases a
defendant found guilty of a crime without imprisonment subject to
the condition imposed by the court and subject to the supervision
of the probation service.

-is a disposition under which a defendant, after conviction and

sentence, is released subject to conditions imposed by the court
and to the supervision of a probation officer. The Parole and
Probation Administration has defined probation as a privilege
granted by the court to a person convicted of a criminal offense to
remain in the community instead of going to prison/jail.

As defined, probation is just a privilege and not a matter of right. It

shall only be granted after conviction and sentence. There is no
probation when the accused/defendant has not been convicted
PURPOSE OF PROBATION

• Promote the correction and rehabilitation of an offender

by providing him with individualized treatment.

• Provide an opportunity for the reformation of a penitent

offender.

• Prevent commission of an offense.
