As one of the five pillars of the Criminal Justice System, the BJMP was created to address growing
concern of jail management and penology problem. Primarily, its clients are detainees accused before a
court who are temporarily confined in such jails while undergoing investigation, waiting final judgement
and those who are serving sentence promulgated by the court 3 years and below. As provided for under
R.A. No. 6975, the Jail Bureau is mandated to take operational and administrative control over all city,
district and municipal jails. The Bureau has four major areas of rehabilitation program, namely:
Livelihood Projects, Educational and Vocational Training, Recreation and Sports, and Religious/ Spiritual
Activities. These were continuously implemented to eliminate the offenders’ pattern of criminal
behaviour and to reform them to become law-abiding and productive citizens. Although the workplace
of the Jail Bureau is confined inside the portals of jail to safeguard PDL, nonetheless, the Bureau has an
inherent function of informing the public of jail operations and other matters concerning the corrections
pillar of the Philippines. Coincidentally, being a new and growing Bureau, BJMP aims to keep the public
abreast of information regarding jail management and penology.
BuCor - The Bureau of Corrections is an agency of the Department of Justice which is charged with the
custody and rehabilitation of national offenders, who have been sentenced to three years of
imprisonment or more. The agency has its headquarters in the New Bilibid Prison Reservation in
Muntinlupa.

The Old Bilibid Prison whichh was located on Oroquieta Street in Manila was established in 1847 and by
a Royal Decree formally opened on April 10, 1866. On August 21, 1870 the San Ramon Prison and Penal
Farm was established in Zamboanga City for Muslim and political prisoners opposed to the rule of Spain

The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), however, is mandated to institute

reformation programs for national inmates such as moral and spiritual;
education and training; work and livelihood; sports and recreation; health and
welfare and behavior modification programs.
