    THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

    Background of the Study

    The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) is mandated to safe keep and

    develop inmates. Thus, the Philippine prison system adopted two approaches for treatment of

    offenders. These are the institutional- based treatment program and the community-based

    treatment programs. These programs aimed towards the improvement of offender’s attitude and

    philosophy of life. Reformation and rehabilitation of inmates as well as preparation for the

    reintegration in community are the ultimate goals of the programs. Prison inmates are some of

    the most disturbed and unstable people in society. Most of the inmates have had too little

    discipline or too much come from broken homes and have no self-esteem. They are very insecure

    and are at war with themselves as well with society. Most inmates did not learn moral values or

    learn to follow everyday norms. In order to rehabilitate criminals we must do more than just send

    them to prison (Manwong, 2006).

    For instance, this program could give them a chance to acquire job skills which will

    improve the chances that inmates will become productive citizen upon release. The programs

    must aim to change those who want to change. Those who are taught to produce useful goods

    and to be productive are likely to develop the self-esteem essential to a normal integrated

    personality. This kind of program would provide many useful skills and habits and replace the

    sense of hopelessness that many inmates have (Escabel et al, 2015)

    In Tangub City Jail, several programs are being offered and these include all the

    programs being exercised inside the jail such as education, sport, religion and livelihood skill

    training. They also give medical services to ensure that inmates are in good health condition

    especially those who have health problems. They also offered alternative learning system in

    elementary and high school level. Furthermore, these programs are being implemented to

    change the inmates’ vision in life.

    A research work is initiated because the researchers aimed to know the different

    programs being implemented in Tangub City Jail. Furthermore, it is also important to know the

    responses of the inmates with those programs that will contribute to their full reformation and

    rehabilitation. Hence, the study will be beneficial to the jail institution so as to assess the

    effectiveness of the programs being offered, to take actions to improve the programs and give

    more attention to those programs that are much needed to the inmates.
