MANILA, 15 March (PIA) -- The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) to strictly enforce the jail rules and regulations to all city, district, provincial and municipal jails nationwide.
DILG Undersecretary for Public Safety Atty. Peter Irving C. Corvera said Interior and Local Government Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento wants the jail bureau to conduct frequent and regular Oplan Greyhound on all jails nationwide.
Under Oplan Greyhound, BJMP personnel search jail cells for contraband such as illegal drugs and weapons. Corvera added that the jail bureau must crackdown specifically on all illegal drugs inside the jail premises.
He further said the DILG will conduct investigation on the jail personnel involved on the possible use of excessive force on the inmates who held a noise barrage at the Makati City jail.
The inmates destroyed the bunk beds during the noise barrage where twenty-nine inmates were hurt when personnel of the BJMP broke up the noise barrage last Tuesday. (DILG/RJB/JCP/PIA-NCR)
