The program which stands for Jail Management Services, Acqusition, Hiring, Training and Maintenance of Human Resources, Innovations and Good Practices, Logistics and Support from the Top, is aimed at professionalizing the handling of inmates and managing of jails nationwide. This program also intends to address the various and increasing jail management and penology problems.
This year, through the administration of J/SINSP HERMINIGILDO B RIVERA as the newly designated Officer-in-Charge of Laoag City Jail, the program takes its position to a higher level and momentum. Under a new administration, Laoag City Jail will continuously gear towards sustained development and transformation not just in its physical set-up but more importantly in the welfare and development of persons deprived of liberty.
