Since its establishment, the prison is continuously improved through construction of several buildings, including dormitories, employee's quarter, guardhouse, schoolhouse, chapel, recreation hall and Post Exchange.
The Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm is also where prisoners from New Bilibid Prison are brought for decongestion purposes. It follows the same colony standards as other penal farms.
