Around 1,000 high-value prisoners, including drug lords, have been transferred to the Iwahig and Sablyan prison and penal farms, BuCor director-general Gregorio Catapang Jr. said Friday.
“Naglipat po ako, medyo sinekreto ko hindi ako nagpa-media kasi high value target ito o high value prisoners,” Catapang said in an interview on Dobol B TV.
The transfer of these prisoners will also be reported to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla, he added. [When you're on a mountain, you don’t have a signal there and you have your own cell. If some inmates escape from there, they eventually return for fear of getting lost or being bitten by snakes or attacked by wild animals.]
