MODALITIES IN THE TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Like many countries, the correctional system in the Philippines has both an institution-based and a
community-based component. It also has separate treatment systems for youth offenders and adult
offenders. The custodial care of adult offenders is handled by the following:

1. The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) under the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) which has supervision over all district, city and municipal jails and detention centers.
These jails house detainees awaiting judicial disposition of their case and offenders whose sentence
range from one (1) day to three (3) years.

2. The Provincial Governments, which have supervision and control over provincial jails. These jails
house court detainees and prisoners whose prison terms range from six (6) months and one (1) day, to
three (3) years.

3. The Bureau of Corrections (BUCOR) under the Department of Justice (DOJ), which has control over
the national penitentiary and its penal farms, houses convicted offenders with prison sentences ranging
from three (3) years and one (1) day, to life imprisonment.

Youth offenders in the Philippines are treated differently. A youth offender is defined as a child
over nine (9) years but below eighteen (18) years of age at the time of the commission of an offense.
Under the country's laws, these youth offenders are entitled to a suspended sentence. Instead of serving
their sentence, they are rehabilitated in regional youth rehabilitation centers, which are managed and
supervised by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

The non-institutional treatment of adult offenders is managed primarily by the Department of

Justice (DOJ) through Its Parole and Probation Administration and the Board of Pardons. Probation for
adult offenders are available to those whose penalty of imprisonment does not exceed six (6) years. It is
considered as a matter of privilege and not a right. Hence, the adult offender has to apply for probation
before the court upon conviction.

WHAT IS TC Therapeutic Community?
The Therapeutic Community (TC) is an environment that helps people get help while helping others. It is
a treatment environment: the interactions of its members are designed to be therapeutic within the context
of the norms that require for each to play the dual role of client-therapist. At a given moment, one may be
in a client role when receiving help or support from others because of a problem behavior or when
experiencing distress. At another time, the same person assumes a therapist role when assisting or
supporting another person in trouble.

HOW DOES TC LOOK LIKE?

The operation of the community itself is the task of the residents, working under staff supervision. Work
assignments, called "job functions" are arranged in a hierarchy, according to seniority, individual progress
and productivity. These include conducting all house services, such as cooking, cleaning, kitchen service,
minor repair, serving as apprentices and running all departments, conducting meetings and peer
encounter [Link] TC operates in a similar fashion to a functional family with a hierarchical structure
of older and younger members. Each member has a defined role and responsibilities for sustaining the
proper functioning of the TC. There are sets of rules and community norms that members upon entry
commit to live by and uphold.

WHAT ARE THE SALIENT FEATURES OF TC?

1. The primary "therapist' and teacher is the community itself, consisting of peers and staff, who, as role
models of successful personal change, serve as guides in the recovery process.
2 TC adheres to precepts of right living: Truth/honesty Here and now; Personal responsibility for destiny:
Social responsibility (brother's keeper); Moral Code; Inner
person is "good" but behavior can be "bad"; Change is the only certainty; Work ethics; Self-reliance;
Psychological converges with philosophical (e.g. guilt kills)
3. It believes that TC is a place where: One can change unfold; the group can foster change; individuals
must take responsibility; structures must accommodate this; Act as if -go through the motion.
4. There are 5 distinct categories of activity that help promote the change:

 Relational/Behavior Management
 Affective/Emotional/Psychological
 Cognitive/intellectual
 Spiritual
 Psychomotor/Vocational-Survival Skills

TC BELIEFS
 Inherent goodness of man

THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY MODALITY PROGRAM BY THE BUREAU OF JAIL

MANAGEMENT AND PENOLOGY

TCMP IN BJMP: BACKGROUND

In the BJMP, Therapeutic Community Modality Program (TCMP) was introduced in 1998 when a group of
personnel underwent a six (6) week live-in trainer’s training under the DAYTOP International trainers
sponsored by the US State Department. From then on, a number of BJMP personnel were trained by
DAYTOP trainers, namely Aloysius Joseph, Frederick Loke, Jimmy Curtin and Fernando Perfas.

The program was initially implemented in selected jails in the National Capital Region (NCR). The TCMP
training was cascaded to a significant number of BJMP personnel. The Jail National Training Institute
(JNTI) likewise incorporated the TCMP into its Program of Instruction (POI) for BJMP personnel
undergoing mandatory trainings. Despite the significant number of trainer’s training conducted, sustaining
the TCMP in jails remained a challenge. There is also the prevailing issue of development versus
security. The wardens were adamant to implement the program for fear of security laxity due to the
increased mobility of inmates during activities. The low ratio of jail personnel to inmates has caused such
alarm.

Despite these factors, some jails continue to implement the TCMP but activities are mostly centered on
the Morning Meeting. The TC staffs are regularly rotated to other jails as part of the BJMP rules thus
leaving a vacuum on the respective jails if not properly relieved by another TC trained staff. This lack of
constancy and consistency makes it difficult for the program to thrive. Despite their TC training, TC staff
generally feels inept to handle the program.

On assessment of the existing TCMP in certain jails, some modifications were introduced which tend to
deviate from the core essence of the program, hence this TCMP manual has been crafted. In November
2012, the BJMP National TC Technical Working Group initiated the crafting of the BJMP TCMP
Operational Manual which will serve as reference for a standard and uniform TC implementation and
training of personnel and inmates.

The Therapeutic Community Modality Program (TCMP) is a self-help social learning treatment model
which utilizes the community as the primary therapeutic vehicle to foster behavioral and attitudinal
change. In this modality, the person learns and practices skills and responsibilities through structured
activities that they can transfer to the society upon their release. Each participant is expected to be a
contributing member of the community and develops the impetus to change by being a member of the
community.

At present, TCMP is recognized as the backbone program of the BJMP for inmate development and is
being implemented in majority of the jails nationwide.

Members of the TCMP

Resident – terms used for inmates who are part of the TCMP Community

Senior Resident – a member of the TC community having the position such as Static Group Leader and
its Assistant and in charge of various special services group

Big Brother – an older member of the community tasked to provide guidance to the newly committed
residents

Friend – a resident who has the closest regard to the other resident

Peer – friends of the sane entry period.

PHASES OF TREATMENT
TCMP in the BJMP set up is quite unique in the sense that inmates are in custody while undergoing trial
for their individual cases. Their length of stay is determined by how fast is the disposition of their cases.
The cases may be decided upon after a short period of time or may last for years. Though the different
phases of treatment are observed, it cannot be fully implemented or may not be followed as scheduled
due to the uniqueness of the status of the residents.

Phase I- Entry/Orientation Phase

Once an inmate is committed to jail, he undergoes a series of examination to determine his physical,
social and psychological status. Upon his commitment, a resident is placed on orientation at the
Reception and Diagnostic room/ Orientation Room. In here, he at acquainted with the TC program:

- The rules and norms of the community

- TC concepts, written and unwritten philosophy
- The staff and the members of the community
- The tools of the house
- Job functions and TC hierarchy
He is then assigned a static group and a big brother who will provide him with support and will Walk
him through the orientation phase. At this phase, the resident is handled gently and is expected commit
mistakes in the process of learning the program.

Phase Il- Primary Treatment

After proper orientation on the different TC concepts and tools, the norms and rules of the community and
the staff members, the resident is now ready to undergo the treatment proper. He becomes a part of
the community starting as a crew member of the House keeping department until he gradually
ascends in the hierarchy. He must be knowledgeable on the following:

 Proper use of the different tools to address personal issues and concerns and shape behavior
 Managing own feelings and learning how to express self appropriately
 Learning how to follow the rules and norms of the community
 Maximize participation in activities that are appropriate to the resident's need for growth
 Learning how to trust the environment by disclosing self to the community and develop insight in
the process
 Developing positive coping skills to deal with difficult life situations
 Enhancing educational and vocational skills to make him productive
 Improve social skills and recognize the importance of other people's help in shaping behavior

Phase llI= Pre Re-entry

Under regular circumstances, the resident is expected at this stage to have internalized the TC values
and concept to start life afresh. However, in the jail setting where entry and release are not within the
jail control, residents may not have reached this phase of treatment before they even leave the jail facility.

Regardless of the resident's length of stay, he is expected to undergo this phase prior to release into
society. At this phase, the resident is expected to have proven his ability to take on more responsibility
hence needs lesser supervision. He is considered a role model in the TC community. He should focus
on the following learning

 Rebuilding of social and family ties

 Going up the ladder of hierarchy by showing leadership
 Realization of his full potential to be a productive member of society
 Mapping out of plans

Phase IV. Re-entry

In the ideal setting, a resident at this stage is now ready to be released back to society as he has
demonstrated adequate self-control and discipline. The inmate is now preparing for his life outside of jail
and is focused on making himself a productive citizen. He may start planning for job hunting and
rebuilding family ties and relationships.

In the jail setting, the residents will stay inside the jail until their cases are resolved or they
have been convicted and need to be remanded to the Bureau of Corrections.

The resident must focus on the following:

 Transition to life outside of jail.
 Creating a new lifestyle applying the tools and concept of TC.
 Learning positive coping skills to deal with day-to-day situations.
 Re-establishing and strengthening family ties and support group.
 Reintegration into the mainstream of society.
 Developing realistic and attainable goals in life.

Phase V-Aftercare
Aftercare is an outpatient program that requires clients to report twice a week to an outreach center.
They are required to attend group sessions to ensure their adjustment to life outside jail lo reduce
recidivism. For clients released from jail, they are referred to the Parole and Probation Administration and
Local Government Units for follow up and aftercare. The clients are focused on the following:
  Maintaining positive behavior and prevent recidivism
 Strengthening coping mechanism
 Maintaining relationships and support mechanism
 Sustaining interest in job or vocation to maintain livelihood

TC PHILOSOPHY

I am here because there is no refuge finally, from myself. Until I confront myself in my eyes and
hearts of others, I am running.
Until I suffer them to share my secrets, I have no safety from them. Afraid to be known.
I can know either myself now any other, I will be alone.
Where else but in our common ground can I see such a mirror?
Here, together, I can at last appear clearly to myself, not as the giant of my dreams nor the dwarf
of my fears, but as a person, part of the whole, with my share in its purpose. In this ground, I can
take root and grow, not alone anymore, as in death but alive to myself and to others.

CARDINAL RULES IN TC
No sex or sexual acting out
No drugs/alcohol
No violence or threat of violence
No stealing

validation of pull-ups and other concerns.
Morning Meeting
Duration: 1 hour daily
Participants: All residents, Counselor
Morning Meeting is a daily ritual that starts the day in a TC facility. It is attended by the whole

community. It is divided into two parts namely: (1) public announcements and community
concerns and (2) community-spirit building or up rituals.
The first part of the meeting consists of public announcements regarding important
activities or businesses and other information that the community needs to know. It is a review of
how the community performed in the previous day and check on the behavior of erring members through
the conduct of “pull-ups”. The first part of the Morning Meeting is a serious business where the members
are expected to be formal in their demeanor's. Rules are set such as: no side talking, no cross legging,
no laughing, hands on the laps and sit erect.
The Concept of the day serves as a guide as to what direction of community is headed for the
day. It is elaborated by residents of the community to have a better understanding of the whole concept.
The concept of the day is preferably taken from the Unwritten Philosophies of TCMP.
The second part of the meeting consists of entertaining presentations to lighten up the mood
and start the day on a positive note. It somehow develops some talents and sheds off inhibitions of
participants.
