JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla exposed on Monday the illegal practice of prison and jail guards in various detention and prison facilities in the country of getting a 12 percent to 20 percent cut from the money being sent via online e-wallets such as GCash to persons deprived of liberty by their loved ones to augment their food allowance.
“The corruption inside [these facilities], particularly on PDLs, is really too much. We really have to address this,” Remulla stressed. Under the prison rules, PDLs are not allowed to possess and use mobile phones while in detention or while serving their sentence inside penal facilities. Catapang said they are planning to file charges and initiate summary dismissal proceedings against six jail guards who were caught in possession of PDLs money that was kept in their lockers.“That is illegal and we will be filing charges against the lenders,” Catapang said.
