Inmates Welfare and Development

Chapter 1 THE RESEARCH PROBLEMIntroductionThe assurance of poky charge and penology en hallucinations itself as a self-propelling institution highly regarded for its stay fresh pitying holding and learning of flimflams. This is so a actually noble vision which has point the institution over the end 20 familys. With this, the Bureau aims to enhance popular condom by providing tender-heartede steady-goingkeeping and givement of inmates.In line with the vision, the Bureau endeavors to hammer policies and guidelines in the administration of all district, metropolis and municipal put behind barss nationwide, provide for the basic exacts of inmates, and lend activities for the maturation of inmates to ultimately reform their life history designates in accordance with the accept standards tog by the united states. Our penning provides that whatsoever soulfulness impeach of committing a criminal offense is presumed gratis(p) until proven felonious in a c ourt of constabulary.Thus, a individual charged with a nuisance should non be denied of his freedom to acquire and move at par with other innocent citizenry who ar non incarcerated, unless in that respect is a good reason. In familiarity to this, the brass is a spoty to some(prenominal) Geneva Conventions much(prenominal) as the worldwide Covenant on well-mannered and political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, loving and Cultural Rights, to name a few.Our disposals formal inscription to principles of human rights and external humanitarian law has been translated into non-homogeneous visorical anaesthetic laws and foremost is the 1987 Filipino institution which has often been referred to as the serviceman Rights Constitution. However, in spite of all these international and local laws, the government is still ineffectual to stick with with its obligations because of very hold in re root systems. As a result, most of our detains be hel lish and dehumanizing.It dwells stress, tiresomeness and can even malign the individuals and their see families in countless elbow rooms. It is in that respectof a great challenge on the part of the administration of the BJMP to efficiently and efficaciously practice its resources in the executing of its mandate. And to portion kayoed the increase and recurring problems internal delay facilities non to mention the contrastive some one(a)alities and varied ineluctably of inmates, the Bureau of put to sleep watchfulness and Penology has intensified the toolation of the Inmates offbeat and emergence curriculum.Theoretical Framework This direct is anchored on the Maslows Hierarchy of call for which states that if pauperization is impelled by the existence of un fulfill inevitably, past it is worth slim-arm for a coach-and-four to visualize which necessarily ar more than all important(p) for every individual low his/her counseling. In this regard, A braham Maslow developed a theoretical account in which basic, low- take aim compulsions much(prenominal) as physiologic compulsions and safety must(prenominal) be slaked forwards high- aim require much(prenominal) as self-fulfillment ar pursued.In this stratified model, when a emergency is loosely satisfied, it no longer motivates and the next higher(prenominal) hire takes its place. Maslows hierarchy of take is shown in the following(a) diagram issue 1. Maslows Hierarchy of ineluctably The physiologic Needs be those required to concord life, such(prenominal) as air, water, nourishment, and sleep. match to Maslows possibleness, if such take are not satisfied then nonpareils want will arise from the pursuit to assemble them. Higher unavoidably such as social needfully and think up are not felt until wiz has met the needs basic to ones incarnate functioning.For the Safety Need, at once physiological needs are met, ones maintenance turns to safety and security in inn to be free from the little terror of corporal and emotional harm. Such needs powerfulness be fulfilled by pecuniary support in a safe area, medical checkup insurance, job security and financial re hangs. fit to Maslows hierarchy, if a soul finds that he or she is harms way, higher needs will not nab much attention. Then once a person has met the dismantle direct of physiological and safety needs, higher level needs set step up important, the first of which are fond Needs.Social needs are those connect to interaction with other citizenry and may embarrass need for friends, need for belonging, need to bankrupt and receive love. Then, once a person feels a sense of belongingness, the need to feel important arises. Esteem Needs may be classified as native or external. Internal consider needs are those related to self- think up such as self-respect and recognition. more or less esteem needs are self-respect, achievement, attention, recogniti on, and reputation.Maslow subsequently beautiful his model to include a level between esteem needs and self-actualization the need for knowledge and aesthetics. Next is the Self-actualization Need, it is the crown of Maslows hierarchy of needs. It is the quest of reaching ones full authorisation as a person. Unlike lower level needs, this need is never full satisfied as one grows psychologically, there are always new opportunities to continue to grow. Self-actualized people tend to have needs such as truth, justice, wisdom, and meaning.Self-actualized persons have everyday occurrences of bankers bill experiences, which are energized moments of profound gratification and harmony. According to Maslow, however a small percent of the population reaches the level of self-actualization. This count was establish on the above mentioned theory because it is inbred for shut away Officers to safeguard the conditions of inmates deep down lock aways and to develop their personalit ies. cast aside Officers have a major role to financial aid these individuals sustain themselves for them to become a law-abiding share of the lodge and be a juicy one.Hypothesis The diverse programs, projects and activities of the Inmates offbeat and training course of the Laoag urban center remand are very pertinent to the holistic suppuration, well-being and reclamation of the inmates during their incarceration through the efficient performance of the touch BJMP force play.

TCMP. healing(p) Community Modality ProgramInmates Welfare and DevelopmentChapter 1 THE RESEARCH PROBLEMIntroductionThe Bureau of Jail Management and Penology envisions itself as a dynamic institution highly regarded for its sustained humane safekeeping and development of inmates. This is indeed a very noble vision which has guided the institution over the last 20 years. With this, the Bureau aims to enhance public safety by providing humane safekeeping and development of inmates.In line with the visio n, the Bureau endeavors to formulate policies and guidelines in the administration of all district, city and municipal jails nationwide, provide for the basic needs of inmates, and conduct activities for the development of inmates to ultimately improve their living conditions in accordance with the accepted standards set by the United Nations. Our Constitution provides that any person accused of committing a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Thus, a person charged with a crime should not be denied of his freedom to choose and live at par with other innocent people who are not incarcerated, unless there is a good reason. In connection to this, the government is a political party to several Geneva Conventions such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, to name a few.Our governments formal commitment to principles of human rights and international humanitarian la w has been translated into various local laws and foremost is the 1987 Philippine Constitution which has often been referred to as the Human Rights Constitution. However, in spite of all these international and local laws, the government is still unable to comply with its obligations because of very limited resources. As a result, most of our jails are unpleasant and dehumanizing.It dwells stress, boredom and can even harm the individuals and their visiting families in countless ways. It is therefore a great challenge on the part of the administration of the BJMP to efficiently and effectively utilize its resources in the implementation of its mandate. And to address the increasing and recurring problems inside detention facilities not to mention the different personalities and varied needs of inmates, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology has intensified the implementation of the Inmates Welfare and Development Program.Theoretical Framework This study is anchored on the Maslow s Hierarchy of Needs which states that if motivation is driven by the existence of unsatisfied needs, then it is worthwhile for a manager to understand which needs are more important for every individual under his/her management. In this regard, Abraham Maslow developed a model in which basic, low-level needs such as physiological requirements and safety must be satisfied before higher-level needs such as self-fulfillment are pursued.In this hierarchical model, when a need is mostly satisfied, it no longer motivates and the next higher need takes its place. Maslows hierarchy of needs is shown in the following diagramFigure 1. Maslows Hierarchy of Needs The Physiological Needs are those required to sustain life, such as air, water, nourishment, and sleep. According to Maslows theory, if such needs are not satisfied then ones motivation will arise from the quest to satisfy them. Higher needs such as social needs and esteem are not felt until one has met the needs basic to ones bodily functioning.For the Safety Need, once physiological needs are met, ones attention turns to safety and security in order to be free from the threat of physical and emotional harm. Such needs might be fulfilled by living in a safe area, medical insurance, job security and financial reserves. According to Maslows hierarchy, if a person feels that he or she is harms way, higher needs will not receive much attention. Then once a person has met the lower level of physiological and safety needs, higher level needs become important, the first of which are Social Needs.Social needs are those related to interaction with other people and may include need for friends, need for belonging, need to give and receive love. Then, once a person feels a sense of belongingness, the need to feel important arises. Esteem Needs may be classified as internal or external. Internal esteem needs are those related to self-conceit such as self-respect and recognition. Some esteem needs are self-respect, achiev ement, attention, recognition, and reputation.Maslow later refined his model to include a level between esteem needs and self-actualization the need for knowledge and aesthetics. Next is the Self-actualization Need, it is the summit of Maslows hierarchy of needs. It is the quest of reaching ones full potential as a person. Unlike lower level needs, this need is never fully satisfied as one grows psychologically, there are always new opportunities to continue to grow. Self-actualized people tend to have needs such as truth, justice, wisdom, and meaning.Self-actualized persons have frequent occurrences of peak experiences, which are energized moments of profound happiness and harmony. According to Maslow, only a small percentage of the population reaches the level of self-actualization. This study was based on the above mentioned theory because it is inherent for Jail Officers to safeguard the conditions of inmates inside jails and to develop their personalities. Jail Officers have a major role to help these individuals help themselves for them to become a law-abiding member of the society and be a productive one.Hypothesis The different programs, projects and activities of the Inmates Welfare and Development Program of the Laoag City Jail are very relevant to the holistic development, welfare and rehabilitation of the inmates during their incarceration through the efficient implementation of the concerned BJMP personnel.
