In Metro Manila, BJMP-NCR Regional Director Jail Chief Supt. Efren Nemeño recently confirmed that all 39 jails are now ready for the resumption of contact visitation.
During contact visits, family members are allowed to hold hands of the inmates and touch each other’s faces.Since the easing of jail lockdowns two years later on April 20, 2022, jail visits have been allowed but limited to “no contact visitation,” where inmates can receive visitors separated by a physical barrier, usually plastic acetate sheets.
Only essential items such as medicine and special dietary requirements can be brought to the facility by the families of the PDL, subject to usual search procedures and security protocols.Other modes of visitation, such online interactions, remain available.Considering the congestion rate in the majority of BJMP jail facilities, only 25 percent of the total inmate population of a jail facility will be allowed to avail of in-person visitation in a day.
