Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) is a government agency in the Philippines responsible for the management and operation of local jails. It aims to ensure the safe custody of inmates while promoting their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. The BJMP oversees various facilities and implements programs to improve the conditions of confinement.
The agency operates under the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and works closely with local government units. Its mission includes enhancing the skills of jail personnel and providing inmates with access to education and vocational training, ultimately reducing recidivism rates.
