Bureau of Jail Management and Penology(BJMP)

Hi, I would like to ask the following for my thesis research: 
1. How long does the jail allow new born infants to stay with their mothers in jail? 
2. Are the detainees provided with a special diet when they are pregnant? 
3. Are the detainees isolated or put in a separate room in jail due to their pregnancy or nursing needs for their infants?
4.If a detainee is pregnant or has an infant while detained, are they transferred to a jail that is less congested?

hoping to get answers for ALL questions thank you.

Good day, I would like to ask for a follow up regarding my requests. Thank you.

Good afternoon!

As to the inquiry of the legal management students, allegedly, from La Salle. The DHS is vetting the veracity of the requesting party.

We already communicated with them and sought for their school endorsement since the data they are requesting are confidential. Also, they are requesting to interview the pregnant/mother PDL. We still waiting for their compliance over our request.

The DHS is taking the matter seriously since we had previous experience with pregnant/mother PDL associated with political affiliation.

Thank you.
Sincerely,

Directorate for Health Service
