The Bureau of Corrections will introduce a cashless policy in all its operating prisons and penal farms (OPPFs) in September to eliminate the proliferation of illegal activities that use cash.
BuCor Director General Gregorio Catapang Jr. explained in a Sunday statement that person deprived of liberty are allowed to possess money while serving a sentence, either from proceeds of their engagement in work and livelihood programs or from money sent to them by relatives and friends, to supplement the limited resources allocated for their basic needs.
"By this we mean, PDLs and even corrections officers assigned to man the security compound will not be allowed to carry cash money or else it will be confiscated," Catapang added. Instead of cash, the BuCor would issue PDLs booklets, similar to what banks issue, reflecting the amount credited to the booklet holder's name and entitling the PDL to purchase goods or items from the IPX, a store inside prisons.Catapang warned that any unauthorized BuCor personnel found to be in possession of a PDL's booklet would "be meted outright dismissal."
Meanwhile, Catapang wanted the supply and operation of IPXs inside OPPFs managed by BuCor cooperatives, of which every employee is a member.
