100-year-old Correctional inmate longing for release, family

A 100-year-old inmate on the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City is the thought-about as  nation’s oldest individual disadvantaged of liberty.

According to Saleema Refran’s unique report on ” 24 Oras,” Mamang (not her actual identify) is among the many over 300 senior residents among the many 3,286 inmates on the CIW.

She was imprisoned on the most safety compound for promoting unlawful medicine in 2012.

“Gustong-gusto ko na makalaya para makita ko na, makapiling ko na ang mga mahal ko sa buhay na matagal ko na silang hindi nakita,” Mamang  said.

The Board of Pardons and Parole is now processing the documents of elderly PDLs for their release.

“Marami kasi diyan pumapasok sa CIW o Bureau of Corrections na matanda na. Matanda na tapos yung penalty ay life, reclusion tapos mayroon tayong Heinous Crime Law,” CIW appearing superintendent Daisy Castillote mentioned.

“Hindi po talaga ganoon kadali magprocess ng paperwork,” she added.

Due to the restricted house, some sleep on the ground or stairs, whereas others share a mattress.

This can be the identical case within the New Bilibid Prison.

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla mentioned he was in favor of releasing the aged among the many  PDLs. Still, there have to be limitations, particularly for sexually oriented crime offenders.

“’Wag lang siya sexually oriented crime, ‘yun po ang hindi natin pwedeng pakawalan kasi salot talaga at hindi pwede pauwiin sa bahay kung saan sila nagkasala,” Remulla mentioned. —NB, GMA Integrated News
