April 19, 2023 - The Malapatan District Jail has garnered attention for its progressive approach to inmate rehabilitation. Under the leadership of SINSP Reynante Dela Cruz, the jail has implemented various initiatives that aim to instill a sense of purpose and hope into the lives of its inmates.
One of their recent initiatives was a collaboration with Urban Farms PH, a social enterprise that advocates for sustainable urban agriculture. Together, they organized a seminar workshop on basic propagation and understanding the vanilla industry for the inmates.
The event was a success, with both inmates and organizers expressing their gratitude for the opportunity. The passion and commitment displayed by the participants were truly inspiring, and it was a reminder that there is always hope for a brighter future.
The Malapatan District Jail has shown that rehabilitation is possible, and that it can be achieved by empowering inmates and providing them with the tools they need to succeed. We, too, express our deepest gratitude to the Malapatan District Jail for their amazing initiative, and we hope that their example will inspire others to follow suit.
