GROUP 1: CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

 What is Criminal Justice System?

 Criminal Justice System is the state response to a crime.
 A procedure used by the community to investigate crimes, apprehend those accused of committing
them, prosecute them in court, and punish them if found guilty while also making provisions for their
correction and rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice System likewise defined as the machinery of the government, which enforces the rules and
conduct necessary to protect life and property and maintain peace and order.

Purpose of Criminal Justice System

a. Protection of the members of society.
b. Maintenance of peace and order.
c. Crime Prevention
d. Suppression of criminal conducts by apprehending the offenders for whom prevention is ineffective.
e. Review of the legality of preventive and suppressive measures
f. Judicial determination of guilt or innocence of those arrested and/or under trial.
g. Legal and proper disposition of those found guilty
h. Correction and rehabilitation of those persons who violates criminal laws.

5 Pillars of Philippine Criminal Justice System

FIRST PILLAR: LAW ENFORCEMENT
 Stands as the forefront and prime mover of the justice system.
 Also known as the “initiator of the act”.

Functions:
a. Enforce all laws and ordinance relative to the protection of lives and properties.
b. Maintain peace and order and take all necessary steps to ensure public safety.
c. Investigate and prevent crimes.
d. Exercise the general powers to make an arrest, search and seizure.

Tri-Bureau of Law Enforcement (PNP, BFP, BJMP)

According to Article II, Section 5 of the Philippine Constitution, These three (3) bureaus share the common
objectives towards maintaining peace and order, protecting life, liberty and property, and promoting the
general welfare essential for the enjoyment by all the people of the blessings of democracy.

SECOND PILLAR: PROSECUTION

 In this stage of justice system, determination of the legality of the action of the law enforcer and the
evaluation of the evidence presented takes place.

Three (3) Main Function of Prosecution

To conduct preliminary investigation.
To conduct inquest proceeding.
To act as the lawyer of the state in crimInal prosecution.

National Prosecution Service (NPS)

Under Department of Justice (DOJ) and acts as the prosecution arm of the government, particularly
investigation and prosecution of all criminal cases, except those under the exclusive jurisdiction of the ffice of
the ombudsman.

THIRD PILLAR: COURT

In this stage of justice system, judicial determination of the guilt or innocence of the accused is under
consideration.
Court is a governmental body officially assembled under the authority of law and appropriate time and place
for the administration of justice through which the state enforces its sovereign rights and power.

Court is the “cornerstone”, meaning it is fundamental and important pillar in our Philippine Criminal Justice
System.

Three (3) Functions of the Court

Keeping the peace
Deciding controversies
Administrative Role

Different Judicial Courts in the Philippines

Special Courts
 Court of Tax Appeals - composed of 1 Presiding Judge and 2 Associate Judges
 exclusive over appeals from the decision of the Commission of Internal Revenue and the Commisioner
of Customs on certain specific issues.
 Sandiganbayan - composed of 1 Presiding Justice and 14 Associate Justices
 exclusive over violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt practices and other crimes or felonies committed
by public officials and employees in relation to their office, including those employees in government-
owned or controlled corporations.

FOURTH PILLAR: CORRECTIONS

Charged with the responsibility for the custody, supervision, and rehabilitation of the convicted persons.
Known as the weakest among the Five (5) Pillars of Philippine Criminal Justice System.

2 Approaches of Correction
Institutional Corrections - takes place inside correctional facilities. Such as BJMP and BuCor.
Non-Institutional Corrections - community-based correction. Such as PPA.

FIFTH PILLAR: COMMUNITY

Community pillar is very indispensible in the system because in the absence of citizen’s assistance, the criminal
justice system will not be able to handle effectively the complicated task of preventing and controlling crime.

The success of the Criminal Justice System, specifically the community pilar will be based on the role
performance of the following:
The Family - parents and adults must serve as a role model to the child.
The Barangay - must exercise their roles, aside from those functions vested by the law.
The Schools - must incorporate in their teaching the importance of law obedience and the implication or
consequences of violating the same

The Government - must provide opportunities for those reformed and rehabilitated.
The Private Sectors - must remember that not all criminals are criminals by choice, always give chance to
those willing to change.
The Church - having a strong faith with God will likewise help those convicted persons to be righteous again.
The Mass Media - very powerful and provide information to the public the disadvantage of committing crimes.

Importance of Criminal Justice System

The criminal justice system is designed to deliver “justice for all.” This means protecting the innocent,
convicting criminals, and providing a fair justice process to help keep order across the country. In other words,
it keeps our citizens safe. Without the criminal justice system, and all those who work within it, there might be
havoc, violence, theft, and danger all around. But because of criminal justice professionals – those in law
enforcement, corrections, and courts – we can trust that we can travel home, to work, and/or out in public,
safely and securely.

GROUP 2: EVOLUTION OF CORRECTIONS

ERA OF CORRECTIONS – PUNITIVE, RETRIBUTIVE, REHABILITATION
CORRECTION
In the context of criminal justice, refers to the system of managing individuals who have been convicted of
crimes. It encompasses various methods, including incarceration, probation, parole, and rehabilitation, aimed
at holding offenders accountable for their actions, ensuring public safety, and sometimes providing
opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Corrections play a crucial role in the broader criminal justice system, serving both punitive and rehabilitative
purposes, depending on societal goals and legal principles.

TWO APPROACH
1. Institutional correction - also known as "correctional institutions" or "prison systems," refers to the
component of the criminal justice system that involves the incarceration or confinement of individuals who
have been convicted of crimes. These correctional institutions, such as prisons and jails, serve various
purposes like Punishment, Public safety, Rehabilitation, Deterrence and Reentry preparation.
2. Non-institutional correction - also known as "community-based
corrections" or "alternatives to incarceration," encompasses a range of strategies and programs designed to
manage and rehabilitate individuals involved in the criminal justice system without confining them to
traditional correctional facilities like prisons.

ERA OF CORRECTIONS
PUNITIVE
Punitive measures in institutional corrections constitute a fundamental aspect of the criminal justice system's
response to individuals convicted of crimes.

These measures find their primary application within correctional facilities, specially in prisons and jails. This
serves as a form of retribution for the unlawful actions committed by the offender.

Significant dimensions of punitive measures in the context of institutional corrections:

Incarceration - This practice involves sentencing individuals to serve a designated period in prison or jail,
effectively removing them from society as a consequence of their criminal conduct.

Loss of Privileges - Inmates often encounter punitive measures in the form of restrictions and the forfeiture of
specific privileges.

Use of Force - Corrections officers may employ force as a means to manage inmates who pose a threat or
exhibit disruptive behavior.

Disciplinary Actions - Inmates who violates institutional rules are subject to disciplinary actions.

RETRIBUTIVE
Retribution appears alongside restorative principles in law codes from the ancient Near East, including the
Code of Ur- Nammu (c.2050 bce), the Laws of Eshnunna (c.2000 bce), and the better-known Babylonian Code
of Hammurabi (c.1750 bce).

Retributive justice requires that the punishment be proportionate and meted out at the same level as the
crime. In biblical times, retribution was explained with the example of 'an eye for an eye' or a 'tooth for a
tooth,' referenced in the books of Exodus and Leviticus

REHABILITATION
Rehabilitation is a fundamental idea in the fields of criminal justice and corrections. It refers to the process of
assisting individuals who have committed crimes to reintegrate into society, modify their conduct, and live law-
abiding lives.
Rehabilitation is based on the idea that criminal behavior can be impacted by environmental variables, living
circumstances, and personal experiences in addition to being the product of innate qualities or a lack of moral
character. It asserts that with focused interventions, people can develop, change, and become law-abiding
citizens.

Goals of Rehabilitation:
Decrease Recidivism
Reintegration
Behavior Change
Restoration of Victims
Rehabilitation Programs and Strategies:
Counseling and Therapy Education and Vocational Training
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Community-Based Program
The effectiveness of rehabilitation programs varies, and not all individuals respond positively to these
interventions.

Balancing Rehabilitation with Punishment - Critics argue that rehabilitation should not completely replace
punishment, especially for serious or violent criminals.

To summarize, rehabilitation is an essential part of the criminal justice system that focuses on assisting
criminals in changing their behavior and reintegrating into society. It is founded on the premise that treating
the underlying reasons of criminal behavior can reduce repeat offenders and contribute to safer communities.
Even while rehabilitation has its difficulties and may not be appropriate for all offenders, it is nonetheless a
crucial instrument in the fight against crime and its effects.

GROUP 3: EVOLUTION OF CORRECTIONS

HISTORY OF CORRECTIONS

THEORIES TO DEVELOP THE CORRECTIONS

RETRIBUTIVE THEORY: The history of corrections first centered on retribution, assuaging communal rage, but
it has now expanded to encompass rehabilitation and reintegration, moving from a moral reaction to societal
justice.

DETERRENCE THEORY: Deterrence principle, harsh and specific punishments might discourage criminal
activity. This is why corrections methods frequently emphasize them.
REHABILITATION THEORY: Rehabilitation theory, addressing the underlying causes of criminal conduct and
offering education, treatment, and job training to help criminals reintegrate into society can help reform and
rehabilitate offenders.

HISTORY OF CORRECTIONS
The idea of corrections, or the administration of those who have been found guilty of crimes, has a lengthy
history and has developed over many decades. Here are a few significant landmarks, though the exact starting
point may differ by region.

HOW CORRECTIONS STARTED?

The development of punishment. The concept of using imprisonment as a measure of discipline and
reformation first emerged in the late 18th century.

Corrections have been developed as a result of the combined efforts of numerous people, academics, decision-
makers, and societies at large, as long as there have been organized communities.

DEVELOPMENT OF CORRECTIONS
The history of corrections can be traced back to ancient civilizations, and it has been shaped by the legal and
social customs of many different societies. The punishment, treatment, and reintegration of offenders into
society have all been acquired in different places and different eras. With each having its unique history and
evolution of correctional procedures, several nations and areas have contributed to the development of
corrections. Corrections-related practices and beliefs have changed over time to reflect changes in society
values, legal frameworks, and perceptions of criminal activity.

WHY WERE THERE CORRECTIONS?

The social functions of corrections include punishment, deterrent, rehabilitation, public safety, restitution,
payment of damages, and reintegration. Traditionally, punishment is used to make offenders accountable for
their actions and to uphold the law. And also contribute to the community's protection by expelling dangerous
offenders. In addition to helping offenders obtain work, access social services, and receive support, corrections
may force offenders to make reparations to victims or the community in order to prepare them for
reintegration into society.

CONCLUSION
The evolution of corrections over time has been influenced by changing social norms, regulations, and theories
on how to deal with criminal activity. This history is deep and complex. The evolution of correctional systems
has been affected by numerous views and procedures throughout history. These systems have transitioned
from revenge and severe punishment to more impartial strategies that take into account rehabilitation and
crime prevention.
GROUP 4: PHIL. HISTORY OF CORRECTIONS
CODE OF KALANTIAW
The Code is believed to have existed long before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers in the Philippines in the
16th century.

It is attributed to Datu Kalantiao, a legendary pre-colonial leader, the code reflects the customs and traditions
of early Filipino society.

AND THE code is believed to have been enacted in the 14th century
SPECIFICALLY IN 1433 and was supposedly used to govern the ancient Visayan society in the Philippines.

HOW IS IT RELEVANT?
However, the Code of Kalantiao, while historically significant, is not a current or widely recognized legal code
in the Philippines or elsewhere. It's considered a part of the country's historical and cultural heritage, but it is
not relevant anymore. But it does offer insights into the values, norms, and justice system of ANCIENT Filipino
Before.

WHAT IS ITS IMPORTANCE?

The importance of the Code of Kalantiao lies in its historical and cultural significance, its role in understanding
the past, and its contribution to discussions on ethical and moral values that continue to resonate in Filipino
society today.

SUMMARY
the Code of Kalantiao represents an early example of legal and correctional principles in the Philippines. While
its exact text may have been lost over time, its emphasis on fairness, restitution, and community involvement
continues to resonate with modern approaches to corrections and justice.

Understanding the historical context and content of this code is essential in appreciating the evolution of
corrections in the Philippines.

GROUP 5: APPROACHES OF CORRECTIONS

INSTITUTIONAL BASED, NON-INSTITUTIONAL BASED, ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

WHAT ARE THE APPROACHES OF CORRECTIONS?

There are two methods for rehabilitating criminals: INSTITUTIONAL CORRECTIONS and NON-INSTITUTIONAL
CORRECTIONS for jail or prison residents. The management of as system for observing offenders who have
been captured, prosecuted, and found guilty of a crime is referred to as corrections. The correctional system
has two main inmate populations: those housed in institutions and those living in the community. Although
institutional prisons have long been the norm, recent years have shown that non-institutional corrections are
superior since they let criminals finish their sentences in the community and continue to contribute to society.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSTITUTIONALAND NON-INSTITUTIONAL

INSTITUTIONAL CORRECTION, commonly referred to correctional institutions or prison systems, was the area
of the criminal justice system that deals with the detention or incarceration of people who have been found
guilty of crimes. Prisons and jails, as well as other types of correctional facilities, are used for a variety of
purposes, including penalties, public safety, rehabilitation efforts, deterrence, and reentry planning.

NON-INSTITUTIONAL CORRECTION, commonly referred to as "community-based corrections," is a broad term

that refers to a number of approaches and initiatives created to manage and rehabilitate people involved in
the criminal justice system outside of traditional institutions like prisons.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND THEDISADVANTAGES OF INSTITUTIONAL AND NON-INSTITUTIONAL

BASE CORRECTION?

INSTITUTIONAL BASE
ADVANTAGES:
PUBLIC SAFETY: It removes the dangerous offenders from the community and convicts them inside the prison
so they cannot commit crimes again. It also punishes the offenders for their serious criminal actions to make
them realize they should never commit crimes again once they are released from prison.
REHABILITATION: Some correctional facilities include programs designed to help offenders get their lives back
on track and lower recidivism.

DISADVANTAGES:
HIGH COST: Prison costs are high, and taxpayers bear a heavy financial burden as a result.
OVERCROWDING: A lot of prisons and detention centers are overcrowded, which can result in unhealthy
circumstances for both inmates and employees.
LIMITED REHABILITATION: While some facilities provide rehabilitation services, many lack the funding
necessary to offer all convicts complete care.

NON-INSTITUTIONAL BASE
Advantages
•ECONOMICAL: Community-based initiatives are frequently less expensive than prison.
•REHABILITATION: A variety of community-based programs are created to assist offenders in addressing the
underlying causes of their criminal behavior and lowering their likelihood of recidivism.
•COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Family, friends, and other community members are frequently involved in the
recovery process in community-based programs.
Disadvantages
•LIMITED EFFECTIVENESS: Some offenders might not react well to community-based interventions and could
need more intense ones.
•CONCERNS ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY: Some community-based initiatives might not be able to sufficiently shield
the populace from dangerous offenders.
•STIGMATIZATION: After completing community-based programs, offenders may experience social stigma and
discrimination.

NON-INSTITUTIONAL CORRECTIONS
Community-Based Programs or Non-Institutional Corrections Community corrections refers to a broad range of
penalties that are applied without removing the offender from his place of residence or, if applicable, his place
of employment. The key component of community corrections is community supervision.

COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS is a monitored program that works with those who have been found
guilty or who are under investigation for a crime. It is a form of alternative to incarceration.
Include probation, which entails offender supervision under the sentencing court's supervision, and a range of
intermediate punishments in the form of initiatives that offer more supervision and care than "traditional"
probation but are less onerous than incarceration.

Community treatment is considered as a flexible alternative to standard correctional techniques.

• FIRST, supervising inmates (PDL) in the community is substantially less expensive than housing them in
secure institutional settings.
• SECOND, community-based corrections are necessary if the prison system is not to be overwhelmed by an
influx of offenders.
• THIRD, community-based treatment is intended to keep first-time or non-serious criminals out of prison and
rehabilitating them in the community.
• Minimizing the offender's contact with institutional confinement is one of the fundamental ideas behind
community-based corrections. The emphasis shifts away from the dehumanizing and alienating impacts of
institutionalization and demands the use of jails, workhouses, and prisons only to the amount necessary for
societal protection.

The Local Government Code (RA No. 7160) authorizes local government units (LGUs) toput up and maintain
jails and detention facilities. Specifically, provincial governments supervised, control, and operate provincial
and sub-provincial jails for offenders with a prison sentence of sixmonths and one day to three years and
detainees whose cases are being tried by Regional TrialCourt.

facilities. The program aims to ensure the proper care and well-being of detainees while they await trial or
serve their sentences. Here are some key components of the program:
1. Security and Safety: The PNP Locked-up Jail program emphasizes the maintenance of a secure and safe
environment within police detention facilities. This includes implementing strict security protocols, conducting
regular inspections, and employing personnel trained in handling inmate security.

2. Inmate Classification and Management: The program involves the classification of inmates based on risk
and needs assessment. This helps in determining appropriate housing arrangements, supervision levels, and
rehabilitation programs for each inmate.

3. Health and Medical Services: The program provides access to medical and health services for inmates. This
includes regular medical check-ups, emergency care, and access to necessary medications. It also promotes
hygiene and sanitation practices within the detention facilities.

4. Legal Assistance: Inmates under the PNP Locked-up Jail program are afforded their legal rights. The
program ensures that detainees have access to legal representation and assistance in understanding the legal
processes they are involved in.

5. Rehabilitation and Skills Development: The program offers rehabilitation and skills development programs to
help inmates reintegrate into society upon release. These programs may include counseling, vocational
training, education, and livelihood programs, depending on the resources available.

6. Community Engagement: The program encourages the involvement of the community in the rehabilitation
process. This may include partnerships with NGOs, volunteer organizations, and local government units to
provide additional support and resources for the inmates.

It's important to note that specific details and implementation of the program may vary across different
regions and jurisdictions within the Philippines.

GROUP 10: DSWD – CENTER FOR YOUTH REHABILITATION

LEGAL MANDATE, PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION
Youth rehabilitation centers play a crucial role in providing specialized care, support, and guidance to young
individuals who have encountered legal trouble or are struggling with behavioral challenges. These facilities
offer structured programs and services aimed at addressing the underlying causes of the youths' difficulties
while promoting their personal growth, well-being, and successful reintegration into society. By focusing on
rehabilitation rather than punishment, these centers strive to help young people overcome adversity, make
positive changes, and build the necessary skills to lead productive and law-abiding lives. This introduction sets
the stage for understanding the importance of youth rehabilitation centers in addressing the complex needs of
young individuals and supporting their journey towards a brighter future.

LEGAL MANDATE
Republic Act No. 10630 Republic Act No. 10630, known as "An Act Strengthening the Juvenile Justice System
in the Philippines," amends Republic Act No. 9344, also known as the "Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of
2006." The revision points to supply a more child-friendly and rehabilitative approach to adolescent equity,
ensuring that children in conflict with the law are treated with respect and regard. The revision moreover
commands the foundation of "Bahay Pag-asa" in each area and exceedingly urbanized city, which is able to
serve as a restoration center for children in conflict with the law. The amendment also provides for the
creation of the Inter-Agency Committee on Adolescent Justice and Welfare (IACJJW), which is able to
supervise the usage of the juvenile equity system within the nation.

PD 603 Presidential Decree No. 603, also known as the "Child and Youth Welfare Code," was issued in
December 1974. The law aims to promote the welfare of children and youth, including their physical, moral,
spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being. It also provides for the establishment of a juvenile justice system
that is child-appropriate and promotes the rehabilitation and reintegration of youthful offenders into society.

WHY DO WE HAVE A YOUTH REHABILITATION CENTER?

The youth rehabilitation centers in the Philippines serve as a crucial component in the country's efforts to
provide intensive treatment and rehabilitation for children in conflict with the law (CICL) whose sentences
have been suspended. These centers aim to enhance the psychological, emotional, and psycho-social well-
being of the young offenders by helping them gain insights into their behavior and attitudes, redirecting their
behavior and attitudes to become more productive and responsible individuals, and providing opportunities to
acquire social occupational skills and improved self-image.
