 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 handled by the following:

1. The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) under the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) which has supervision over all district, city municipal jails, and detention
centers. These jails house detainees awaiting judicial disposition of their case and offenders
whose sentence range from one (1) day to three (3) years.

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
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.
• Youth offenders in the Philippines are treated differently.
A youth offender is defined as a child over nine (9) years
but below eighteen (18) years of age at the time of the
commission of an offense.

• There are ten (10) rehabilitation centers for youth

offenders, one of which is a National Training School for
Boys and the other, a National Training School for Girls.

• The non-institutional treatment of adult offenders is

managed primarily by the Department of Justice (DOJ)
through its Parole and Probation Administration and the
Board of Pardons Probation for adult offenders is
available to those whose penalty of imprisonment does
not exceed six (6) years.
