After three days of collective action and multi-sector support, the 2nd National Summit on Decongestion of the Justice Sector Coordinating Council has concluded—bringing the country closer to decongested jails and prisons, while affirming the shared commitment to improve the living conditions and the humane treatment of persons deprived of liberty (PDLs).

With the proposed reforms emerging from this productive Summit, hopes for providing more dignified conditions in jails and prisons have been strengthened—reinforcing the essence of rehabilitation to every PDL, from their incarceration to their reintegration to the community.

Highlights of the 2nd National Decongestion Summit

May kumakatok… may mga gamit daw silang gustong kunin at may mga lugar na hahalughugin?

Teka muna, kung walang dalang “Search Warrant” mula sa hukuman ay huwag mo silang patutuluyin.

Sa “Search Warrant,” saklaw na lugar at gamit ay dapat malinaw na nakasulat, para matiyak na lehitimo ang isang pagsisiyasat.

Paghahain nito ay dumaraan sa legal na proseso upang ang iyong karapatan ay hindi maabuso.

Judiciary Nationwide Oath-Taking and Launch

Hindi lahat ng inaakusahan ay pinarurusahan.

Kung hindi mapatutunayan sa paglilitis ang mga paratang laban sa isang tao, "not guilty” ang maaaring maging hatol sa kanya ng hukuman.

Kapag ang mga ebidensiya at salaysay ay puno ng pagdududa o sablay, “Acquittal” ang kahihinatnan.
