the Philippines with pronged tasks of safekeeping and development of its inmates,

It was created on January 2, 1991 by virtue of Republic Act No. 6975 also

known as the Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990. Prior to

its creation, the Office of Jail Management and Penology of the Philippine

Constabulary Integrated National Police was the agency handling the local

penology of the Philippines. It aimed to separate the agency from the national

police, reporting directly to the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government.

The Jail Bureau, pursuant to Section 60 to 65, Chapter V, Republic Act No.
