Early Codes:
History has shown that there are three main legal systems in the world: which have been extended to
and adopted by all countries aside from those that produced them. In their chronological order, they are the
Roman, the Mohammedan or Arabic and the Anglo-American Laws. Among the three, it was Roman
law that has the most lasting and most pervading influence.
The Roman private law (which include Criminal Law), especially has offered the most adequate basic
concepts which sharply define, in concise and inconsistent terminology, mature rules and a complete system,
logical and firm, tempered with a high sense of equity.
Try and try until you die and if you die at least nag-try
Code of Hammurabi
• The first formal law dealing with the concept of justice as Lex Taliones “An Eye for an Eye and a Tooth
for a Tooth”.
• Hammurabi, the king of Babylon during the 18th century BC, is recognized as the first codifier of laws
• The Code was carved in stone
• Under the principle of the law of talion, the punishment should be the same as the harm inflicted on the
victim
Justinian Code
• 6th Century A.D., Emperor Justinian of Rome wrote his code of law.
• An effort to match a desirable amount of punishment to all possible crimes. However, the law did not
survive due to the fall of the Roman Empire but left a foundation of Western legal codes.
• This revived Roman law, in return, became the foundation of law in all civil law jurisdiction (Corpus Juris
or Body of Civil law)

Justinian.

incorporates primitive concepts.

JUSTIFICATIONS OF PUNISHMENT
1. Retribution – the punishment should be provided by the state whose sanction is violated, to afford the
society or the individual the opportunity of imposing upon the offender suitable punishment as might be
enforced. Offenders should be punished because they deserve it.
2. Expiation or Atonement – it is punishment in the form of group vengeance where the purpose is to
appease the offended public or group.
3. Deterrence – punishment gives lesson to the offender by showing to others what would happen to
them if they violate the law. Punishment is imposed to warn potential offenders that they cannot afford
to do what the offender has done.
4. Incapacitation and Protection – the public will be protected if the offender has being held in
conditions where he cannot harm others especially the public. Punishment is affected by placing
offenders in prison so that society will be ensured from further criminal depredations of criminals.
5. Reformation or Rehabilitation – it is the establishment of the usefulness and responsibility of the
offender. Society’s interest can be better served by helping the prisoner to become law abiding citizen
and productive upon the return to the community by requiring him to undergo intensive program of
rehabilitation in prison.

Age of Enlightenment”
18th Century - Considered to be one of the most brutal ages for punishing criminals. A combination of
the old and new system. Flogging was the most popular method of corporal punishment. Hanging is publicly
done just like a scenario in a carnival.
PIONEERS OF REFORMATORY MOVEMENT:

• Zebulon Brockway – The Director of the Elmira Reformatory in New York (1876) who introduced
certain innovational programs like the following: training school type-compulsory education of prisoners-
casework methods- extensive use of parole-indeterminate sentence.
• John Howard – the sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1773 who devoted his life and fortune to prison reform.
As a young man he traveled to Europe hoping to help in the relief of Lisbon after the disastrous
earthquake of 1755. He was captured by the French and was held prisoner for two months in conditions
of great barbarity. Lucky he was returned to England as exchange prisoner. (died on typus or jail fever
in Russia).
Howard’s Recommendations;
✓ Single Cells for sleeping
✓ Segregation of women
✓ Segregation of youth
✓ Provisions of sanitations facilities
✓ Abolition of fee system by which jailers obtained money from prisoners.
• Alexander Maconochie – He is the Superintendent of the penal colony at Norfolk Island in Australia
(1840) who introduced the “Mark System”. A system in which a prisoner is required to earn a number of
marks based on proper department, labor and study in order to entitle him for a ticket for leave or
conditional release which is similar to parole. (Father of Parole)
• Manuel Montesimos – The Director of Prisons in Valencia Spain (1835) who divided the number of
prisoners into companies and appointed certain prisoners as petty officers in charge, which allowed
good behavior to prepare the convict for gradual release.
• Frederic-Auguste Demetz (Domets of France) – established an agricultural colony for delinquent

boys in 1839 providing housefathers as in charge of these boys. The system was based on reeducation
rather than force. When discharge the boys were place under the supervision of a patron.

young offenders. The Borstal Institution is considered as the best reform institution for young offenders
today.

THERAPEUTIC MODAITIES
By: Alvin Manlangit
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 has separate treatment systems for youth offenders and adult offenders. The custodial
care of adult offenders is handled by the following:
• Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
• Provincial Government
• Bureau of Corrections
• DSWD
The non-institutional treatment of adult offenders is managed primarily by the Department of Justice through its
Parole and Probation Administration and the Board of Pardons.
Therapeutic Community Modality by Parole and Probation Administration (PPA)
What is Therapeutic Community?

The Therapeutic Community (TC) is an environment that helps people get help while helping others. It is
a treatment environment: the interactions of its members are designed to be therapeutic within the context of the
norms that require for each to play the dual role of client-therapist. At a given moment, one may be in a client
role when receiving help or support from others because of a problem behavior or when experiencing distress.
At another time, the same person assumes a therapist role when assisting or supporting another person in
trouble.
How does Therapeutic Community look like?
The operation of the community itself is the task of the resident, working under staff supervision. Work
assignment called “job function” are arranged in hierarchy, according to seniority, the individual progress and
productivity. These include conducting all house services, such as cooking, cleaning, kitchen service, minor
repair, serving as apprentices and running all departments, conducting meetings and peer encounter groups.
The TC operates in a similar fashion to a functional family with hierarchical structure of older and younger
members. Each member has defined role and responsibilities for sustaining the proper function of the TC. These
are sets of rules and community norms that members upon entry commit to live by and uphold.
What are the salient feature of Therapeutic Community?

1. The primary “therapist” and teacher are the community itself, consisting of peers and staff, who, as role
models of successful personal change, serve as guides in the recovery process.
2. It believes that TC is a place where: one can change – unfold; the group can foster change; individuals
must take responsibility; structures must accommodate this; act as if – go through the motion.
3. There are 5 distinct categories of activity that help promote the change:
• Relational/behavior management
• Affective/emotional/psychological
• Cognitive/intellectual
• Spiritual
• Psychomotor/vocational-survival skills
Rights of the person under custodial investigation
The right to be informed of his right

• The reading of the Miranda doctrine or custodial rights by the police during his arrest. This carries the

PRE-MORNING MEETING
• Duration/ Frequency: Fifteen minutes daily
• participants: Senior residents, Counselor
• Pre-Morning meeting is done early in the morning prior to the Morning Meeting. Senior members of the
community will meet for about fifteen (15) minutes to discuss the attitude of the house the previously
day. It is also where the senior members formulate solutions to the concerns discussed and to be
executed during the day. The attendees will also discuss the activities to be engaged in the Morning
Meeting and make sure that all participants are ready with their corresponding parts and determine the
amount of time to be allotted for each part. The group will agree on the theme or concept of the day.
This is to make sure that everything is ironed out prior to the conduct if the morning meeting such as
the validation of pull-ups and other concerns.
MORNING MEETING

• recitation of the TC Philosophy.
• It usually facilitated by any member of the community. It is divided into two (2) parts namely: (1) public
announcements and community concerns and (2) community-spirit building or up rituals.
• The first part of the meeting consists of public announcements regarding important activities of
business and other information that the community needs to know. It is a review of how the community
performed in the previous day and check on the behavior of erring members through the conduct of
“pull-ups”. A pull up is done as an expression of concern over the lapses of some members and
encourage ownership of mistake on the violators. The pull up is followed by affirmations of good deeds,
display of responsible concern towards peers or unselfish acts of some residents. This is to show that
good deeds are not left unnoticed and leave a feeling of self-worth to those concerned. The first part of
the morning meeting is a serious business where the members are expected to be formal in their
demeanors. Rules are set such as: no side talking, no cross legging, no laughing, hands on the laps
and sit erect.
• The second part of the meeting consists of entertaining presentations to lighten up the mood and start
the day on a positive note. It somehow develops some talents and shed off inhibitions of participants.
HEIRARCHY OF BEHAVIOR SHAPING TOOLS
Behavior shaping tools (BST) is employed to strengthen the learning process and the practice of more adaptive
behaviors within the social learning environment. The major tools of the BST, such as the Talk To, Pull-up, Dealt
With, Haircut, Learning Experience, General Meeting and Expulsion were developed as a means to correct
behaviors of the residents that violated the TC norms.
TALK TO
• A “Talk To” as an outright correction by any member of the TC community to another member who has
done a minor infraction but is not aware of it. It is a friendly reminder/ advice about an unacceptable
behavior and must be done privately.
• During a “Talk To”, the resident is made aware of his/her negative behavior and the result it may have
on others and the environment. The feedback given to the resident who committed mistake is done in a
positive way. This is to evoke awareness on the part of the violators to avoid committing the same mistake
and be given heavier sanctions if done in the future.
PULL-UP
• A pull-up is done as a result of lack, missed or lapses in awareness in a resident. All the members of the
community are responsible to pull-up minor infractions done by peers. In encourages honestly, demeanor
awareness and owning up to one’s mistakes. This is done when the violator is unknown and must be
validated first prior to bringing up in the Morning Meeting.
• Quickly display the corrected behavior and express gratitude in receiving it. After one member did the
pull-up, other residents who wants to show concern can make elaborations to give emphasis to the
infractions and concretize the admonitions that need to be relayed to the violator. Two to three
elaborations are ideal.
• Too many elaborations are discouraged as they may take so much time.
DEALT WITH
• Dealt With is done when negative behaviors or infractions to the house rules/norms are done for the
second time of same offense by a resident.
HAIRCUT
• Haircut is done when negative behaviors or infractions to the house rules/norms in same offense are
done for the third time or more or for first time grave offenses. It is a carefully planned and structured
verbal reprimand given by a staff with four other residents-senior resident, peer, big brother, and
department head. The tone is more serious and can be loud, more harsh and exaggerated. The haircut
gives emphasis on the behavior of the resident and the severity of the haircut should be appropriate to
the gravity of the offense.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
• A learning experience (LE) is an action or activity given to a resident who was subjected to haircut or
general meeting who did an infraction to correct or modify a behavior.
• The LE should be related to the infraction committed for him to focus on the behavior expected of him in
the community. It should not be given as a punishment but rather a motivation to develop more positive
attitude.
• Close supervision with clear goal increases the effectiveness of the sanction. Upon lifting the LE after
seven (7) days, the resident subjected to the tool will be accorded with a senior resident coming from
his/her static group who will provide guidance and continually monitors the performance in the house of
the former.
• The senior resident assigned will give a self-report after fifteen (15) days on how the resident (who
undergone LE) carried out his responsibilities after the LE and state wherein the residents condition
whether he/she needs further supervision. The authority in giving LE lies in the disciplinary board and
TCMP staff.
BANS
• Sanctions to members who commit repeatedly infractions or violation to the cardinal rules by
prohibiting, disallowing or limiting an activity or affiliation to a group
• It somehow curtails some freedom of movement and association
• This sanction causes unpleasant feelings which people try to avoid hence may evoke behavior changes
in the future
GENERAL MEETING
• A repeated breach to the cardinal rules necessities a general meeting
• Such issue should be discussed with the community to point out to the violator the negative effect the
behavior had on the community
• General meeting formation (director/staff, subjected residents, residents)
• Offense included: sexual acting-out with the fellow resident, taking drugs, engaging in physical fight,
stealing, smoking.

with the recommendation of the disciplinary board may transfer him/her to the nearest jail facility with
an appropriate court order

4. Good governance.
CORE PROGRAMS OF BJMP
A. Provisions of Basic Needs
All PDL under custody are provided with three (3) meals (breakfast, lunch and supper). Adequate supply of
potable water is made available to them at all times. Likewise, upon admission, each PDL is issued his or her
PDL uniform consisting of the yellow shirt and brown jogging pants. Hygiene kits are also distributed to the PDL
on monthly or quarterly basis. Occasionally, the provision of basic needs for the PDL is supplemented by the
food and non-food donations from local government units, non-government organizations, business sector and
private individuals.
B. Health Services
Health services for PDL consist of interventions towards the prevention, promotion, treatment of illnesses and
rehabilitation. All PDL undergo medical assessment upon admission. During confinement, PDL are provided

subject to availability. To maintain the physical health of PDL, they are allowed daily sunning and physical
exercises.
C. Educational Program
The educational program aims to provide opportunities for PDL to achieve mandatory education. For this reason,
BJMP adopted the Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education for the PDL to earn their
elementary and high school diplomas. Teachers in the jail-based ALS are BJMP Personnel who are professional
teachers and trained on the Instructional Method for ALS. In jails where there are no personnel trained to handle
ALS classes, the ALS teachers would be coming from the Department of Education. All PDL enrolled in the ALS
earn their respective Time Allowance for Teaching, Studying and Mentoring (TASTM) pursuant to RA 10592.
D. Skills Training/ Enhancement Program
The objective of the skills training program is to equip the PDL with technical/vocational skills which they can
use in seeking employment or starting their own business after release from confinement. To make the PDL as
competitive as other potential job seekers, the skills trainings preferred are those accredited by the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) so that the PDL will be able to earn National Certifications.
Thus, only the PDL who meet the eligibility requirements of the specific skills training program being offered can
participate.
E. Livelihood Program
The livelihood program presents income-generating activities to PDL during their confinement where they are
able to earn for their personal upkeep and for financial support to their families. The capital for the livelihood
project either from BJMP for BJMP-funded projects or from the common fund of a group of PDL for non-BJMP
funded projects. Examples of continuing and most popular livelihood projects of PDL are bags and purses,
bonsai made of beads, pastries, rugs, paper crafts, and wood crafts. To help the PDL earn from these livelihood
projects, the jail unit Welfare and Development Officer (UWDO) facilitates the sale of the products in display
centers or livelihood caravans organized by the local government units and other service providers. In addition,
online or e-marketing of PDL products is also run by the jail unit Welfare and Development Office.
F. Behavioral Management/ Modification Program
BJMP implements the Therapeutic Community Modality Program (TCMP) to manage and modify behaviors of
PDL with the goal of positively changing their thinking and behavior through structured group processes. The
program endeavors to teach and model positive thinking, pro-social values, good decision-making, and positive
coping. Through the program, PDL are trained on socially acceptable ways of behaving and relating with their
fellow PDL and with personnel and visitors thereby fostering a therapeutic jail environment and maintaining a
peaceful communal atmosphere.
G. Interfaith Program
PDL are provided with the opportunity to practice their faith while under custody without discrimination, subject
only to usual safety and security measures. The BJMP chaplains and imams provide different religious services
such as but not limited to mass celebrations, communal prayers, spiritual counseling, catechism, and others.
Religious organizations and their respective ministers/pastors and leaders are accredited by BJMP to facilitate
their regular contact with PDL for the provision of religious services.
H. Cultural and Sports Program
The cultural program aims to promote camaraderie among PDL, encourage the development of self-confidence
and sharing of cultural talents as form of positive entertainment. Cultural activities allowed in jails include dance,
singing, theatre/drama, and art workshops. Also, through this program, PDL experience some sense of social
normalcy through the communal celebrations of socio-cultural events like birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mothers’
and Fathers’ Day, Christmas, Lent and Easter, Ramadan, local festivals and other similar activities.
I. Paralegal Program
The main objective of the Paralegal Program is to address the overcrowding in jail facilities. Through the
paralegal program, PDL are assisted in availing of the different early modes of release. Regional and jail
paralegal officers conduct continuous informative seminars/orientations to PDL on their rights, modes of early
release, and other paralegal/legal remedies which can be availed of by them. Other paralegal services include
paralegal counseling and case follow-up in the courts by the jail paralegal officers.
J. E-Dalaw
The E-DALAW service is an alternative to the traditional face-to-face visitation between PDL and respective
families. This service enables the PDL to connect with his/her family through a supervised video call and chat.
The program is conceptualized specifically to cater to PDL whose family members cannot go to the jail for actual
visit because of the long distance to the jail from the residence or workplace of the family members. However,
in case of jail lockdown by reason of public health emergency where visitation is suspended, all PDL are allowed
to use the e-dalaw to communicate with their families on equitable rotation basis.
Support Services
A. Human Rights Desks
Every jail facility operates a 24-hour Human Rights Desk handled by a designated Human Rights Affairs Officer.
The main function of the Human Rights Desk is to receive complaints concerning human rights violations from
PDL and visitors and to report the complaints thru the appropriate reporting system to the concerned BJMP
offices and to the Commission on Human Rights for investigation and appropriate action.
B. Help Desk
In line with the government’s policy of providing timely and speedy access to government services, each jail
facility has established its own Help Desk managed by a designated Held Desk Officer. The Help Desk functions
as a referral unit where PDL and visitors can lodge their request for assistance concerning personal or family
needs. These requests are evaluated by the Help Desk Officer and all requests for assistance that cannot be
addressed by the jail are referred to the concerned government agencies for appropriate action.
C. Referrals for Aftercare
Although BJMP recognizes the importance of aftercare program for PDL to be released for them to start a new,
it is limited only to providing welfare and developmental programs to PDL while they are in custody. Nevertheless,
to ensure continuity of care of PDL upon release, the jail unit Welfare and Development Officer facilitate referrals
to different community resources. These referrals addressed to the local government units, non-government
organizations and the business sector usually include but not limited to seeking immediate financial assistance
for PDL’s repatriation, employment/livelihood assistance, educational/vocational training scholarships, medical
and psychological interventions.
Special Program for Vulnerable Groups
A. Services for Pregnant PDL
Pregnant PDL, by reason of their medical condition, are given special attention by the jail nurses to ensure
compliance to pre-natal and post-natal care, timely provision of other pregnancy-related needs, and assistance
for the care of the newborn until the latter is endorsed to the immediate family or accredited child-caring agency.
B. Services for Senior Citizen PDL and PDL with Disabilities
In addition to implementing measures to protect the senior citizen PDL and PDL with disabilities from
discrimination and establishing functional priority lanes for them, the primary policy is to link them to the local
Office of Senior Citizen Affairs Office (OSCA) and Person with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) for the acquisition
of their respective Identification Cards. The respective identification cards issued by the local government unit
are the PDL’s access key to the different services for senior citizens and persons with disabilities mandated by
the Senior Citizen’s Act and Magna Carta for Persons with Disabilities.
C. Services for PDL with other Special Needs
PDL who are members of the LGBT community maybe segregated from the general population in terms of
housing to prevent potential mistreatments towards them by reason of their gender expression and other
vulnerabilities. Nevertheless, they receive the same programs and services provided to the general population
and they are encouraged to participate fully in the socio-cultural activities of the jail.
D. Mental Health Services
In general, preventive mental health aimed at reducing incidence of mental health disorders and developing
positive coping mechanisms are provided to all PDL. Preventive mental health interventions include informative
seminars on stress management, psycho-educational counseling and other supportive psychological group
activities. Likewise, psycho-social support services or stress debriefing to address trauma are facilitated for PDL
after the occurrence of untoward jail incidents or in the aftermath of devastating calamities directly affecting the
PDL.
E. Drug Counseling for PDL with Substance use Disorder
PDL with substance use disorder or have history of illegal drug use and who were granted plea bargaining under
A.M. No. 18-03-16 SC, are provided with drug counseling using the Katatagan Kontra Droga sa Komunidad
(KKDK) approach. The KKDK is a psycho-educational drug counseling program developed consisting of twenty-
four (24) modules: eighteen (18) modules to be completed by the PDL in a small group setting with fellow PDL
and six (6) family modules to be participated by the PDL’s family. The drug counseling runs for maximum duration
