The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology-Northern Mindanao (BJMP-10) has partnered with 17 colleges and universities in the region to expand its development programs.
During the ceremonial signing of the memoranda of agreement (MOA) on Wednesday, BJMP-10 Director Chief Supt. Felixberto Jagorin Jr. said the partnership is essential for improving facilities that will benefit persons deprived of liberty (PDL).
“This will not only open doors to academic research but also improve the management and modernize our facilities,” he said.
Among the MOA stipulations is the offering of learning programs to PDL that reinforce BJMP’s education initiatives, helping them earn technical-vocational and college degrees.
Academic institutions will submit their research outputs and provide recommendations to the BJMP. (PNA)
