It would be an honor for me to gather information regarding the Philippine Prison libraries to questions such as,
1. How many prison libraries are established within prison facilities in the Philippines? and Where are they located?
2. Since the inmates are the prison library users, how many inmates does the BJMP house in its facilities?

Hello!
For a more simplistic question, how many prison libraries are there in the Philippines?
Does all prison facilities in the Philippines have a library within them?

The information you will give will be used for my background of the study, regarding the prison library.
I found just now, a piece of information saying that the Philippines has 933 prison facilities scattered across the archipelago. So I want to present background information on what is going on with the Philippines' prison library, the information needs of the inmates, and the possible development of the specialization of "Prison LIbrarianship" in the field of Library and Information Studies here in the Philippines.
Thank you!
