San Ramon Prison was established in
southern Zamboanga on August
21,1870 through a royal decree
promulgated in 1869. Established
during the tenure of Governor
General Ramon Blanco (whose
patron saint the prison was named
after), the facility was originally
established for persons convicted of
political crimes. Considered the oldest
penal facility in the country, prisoners in
San Ramon were required to do
agricultural work.
Originally, it had a total land area of 1,414.68 hectares as defined in the Executive Order No.
47 dated November 19, 1906, of which 500 hectares was transferred to the Philippine Coconut
Authority by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1025 dated June 09, 1972, whereby 20
hectares has been occupied by the Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), Zamboanga
City, for educational and instructional purposes.
As of November 2022,about 1.4
thousand inmates were confined in
medium-level security in the San
Ramon Prison and Penal Farm in
the Philippines. On the other hand,
464 were imprisoned in minimum-
level security.

The color of the shirts worn by inmates in San Ramon Prison and
Penal Farm could vary depending on the specific policies of the
facility. Different prisons often have different uniform color schemes
for their inmates, and these choices may be influenced by various
factors such as security concerns, ease of identification, or
institutional tradition.
Without specific information about San Ramon Prison's uniform
policy, it's difficult to say definitively what color shirts the inmates
would wear. Typically, prison uniforms might be a solid color such
as orange, khaki, blue, or gray, but this can vary widely from one
facility to another. If you need accurate information about the
uniform colors used in San Ramon Prison, you would likely need to
refer to official sources such as the prison's documentation or
contact the facility directly.
