OCA CIRCULAR NO. 146-11
| TO | : | All Executive Judges and Judges of Single Sala in the First and Second Level Courts |
| SUBJECT | : | National Correctional Consciousness Week on 24-31 October 2011 |
The Inter-Agency Executive Committee on Persons Deprived of Liberty will hold a series of activities during the National Correctional Consciousness Week from October 24-31, 2011 with the theme "Pagbabagong Buhay Abot-Kamay Tuwid na Landas Ating Gabay" and will celebrate the 24th Prison Awareness Sunday on October 30, 2011.
The celebrations aim to raise the level of public consciousness and awareness of the plight of one of the more vulnerable and marginalized sectors of our society — the persons deprived of liberty or the PDL, which include our detainees in jails, inmates in national penitentiaries and penal colonies, children-in-conflict with the law, parolees, pardonees and all other persons charged with an offense and confined in various facilities and rehabilitation centers.
In connection thereto, all executive judges (or in their absence, vice executive judges) and judges of single sala in the first and second level courts are hereby ordered to conduct jail visitations in all detention facilities or prisons holding inmates whose cases are pending in the courts of their jurisdiction on any day from 24-31 October 2011, and submit a report thereon to the Office of the Court Administrator within thirty (30) days from the conduct of the visitation.
