Senior Inspector Ramon Cabug III, the MCJ warden, and Zycar Ong, the DICT provincial head for Masbate, shared how their institutions prepare people deprived of liberty (PDL) for the digital economy and improve rehabilitation services with technology.
Last month, a five-day training on information and communication technology was conducted, and it produced 20 graduates.
“We trained PDLs with valuable skills to help them transition from prison to the community,” Ong said.
According to Provincial Jail Administrator Marben Cortes, “Having a job that pays well is very important in helping an ex-PDL to successfully reintegrate back into society.”
Access to computer desktops was given for basic digital literacy learning. Practical computer skills were acquired and the desktops were used with ease.
