Abstract

The Philippine correctional system is now the most over-crowded system in the world (IPCR 2018) with its prisons1 registering an average overcrowding rate of 582 per cent. Though already overcrowded prior to President Rodrigo Duterte’s ‘war on drugs’, the inmate population has increased by more than 67 per cent (from 120,000 to 200,000) in just two years (2016–2018). A bottleneck in the criminal justice system has also now formed for offenders in pre-trial detention, where they spend an average period of 512 days before cases are decided by the courts. Consequently, some facilities now register overcrowding rates of more than 2000 per cent. This means that cells that could comfortably house up to 10 inmates, now accommodate as many as 200 (BJMP 2018).
