FAQs
1. What is preventive imprisonment?

Answer: Preventive imprisonment is imposed upon a person before he/she is convicted, if he/ she
cannot afford bail, or if his/her criminal case is non-bailable. The Revised Penal Code provides that one must
voluntarily submit, in writing, to abide by the same disciplinary rules as those imposed upon convicted prisoners.
Further, if no such written agreement is made, the person will only be entitled to four-fifths of the period of
detention. Additionally, there are instances where preventive imprisonment is imposed upon the offender for a
period more than that of the maximum allowable for his/her offense.
