Capitol opens 1,000-bed capacity jail extension

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – A total of 706 detainees at the provincial jail cheered as they transferred to the newly constructed provincial jail extension building funded by the provincial government for P25 million.

Gov. Lilia Pineda, together with Vice Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao, board members, Regional Trial Court (RTC) judges, Provincial Administrator Andres Pangilinan Jr., department heads and other stakeholders, led the inauguration and blessing of the jail extension.

Pineda said she personally saw the condition of the detainees in the old provincial jail that is why she asked budget from the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for the immediate construction of the extension building.

“Despite the circumstances of why you are detained here, you must be treated well. The provincial government constructed this building to make sure that you are in an environment conducive for living,” Pineda said.

Retired Col. Edwin Mangaliman, provincial warden, confirmed the observation of the governor. He said the old jail is really congested because it can only accommodate 250 to 300 detainees but they were compelled to stretch its capacity to more than 700.

He added the new jail is a big comfort both for the detainees and the staff because it can house up to 1,000 persons. It has its own covered court and basketball court, big kitchen, cooking area and administrative building.

“This action of the provincial government showed respect to human rights. The Governor considered the not only the dwellings of the detainees but also their nutrition and health condition,” said Mangaliman.

RTC Branch 44 Executive Judge Edgar Chua cited the initiative of the Pineda administration to take into consideration the living condition of the detainees.

“The provincial government is a definite proof that the society and the government did not turn their backs on the accused people,” Judge Chua stated.

Additional Assistance
The provincial government vowed to give Philhealth cards and livelihood to the detainees and scholarship grants to their children.

Pineda said her administration is considering the condition and needs of every sector in the province including those who are in conflict with the law.
“The provincial government’s top priority is health, though you are detainees it doesn’t mean you are not beneficiaries of the programs of the administration,” she told them.

Further, the governor through Provincial Cooperative and Entrepreneurial Development Office (PCEDO), is considering livelihood programs for the inmates.
Pineda said she is aware of the possibility of discrimination to the inmates once they were acquitted, released or pardoned.

“I know many of you will experience hard times finding jobs when freed. The provincial government will give you trainings on different livelihoods so you can generate income on your own,” Pineda said.

She also presented to them the education financial assistance program of the province and is willing to grant scholarship to their children.

Cherry Tamayo and Sosimo Guiray, detainees at the provincial jail, said the action of the provincial government to help them and their families is a manifestation of a fair leadership.

“Nararamdaman namin yung pagsisikap ni Gov. Pineda na tulungan kaming makapagbagong-buhay. Kahit nakakulong kami, hindi niya ipinagkait sa amin yung mga serbisyo ng gubyerno. Hindi po siya mapanghusgang tao. Maraming salamat po Nanay (Gov. Pineda),” they said. ●Jenna Lumbang
