GENERAL NATURE AND DEFENITION OF HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN RIGHTS - those rights which are inherent on our nature and without which, we cannot live as human beings. Its allow us to develop and use our human qualities, intelligence, talents and conscience and to satisfy our spiritual and other needs. Supreme, inherent and inalienable rights to life, dignity, and self-development. The essence of these rights makes man human.

Basic characteristic of human rights: 1. Inherent – Not granted by any person or authority. 2. Fundamental – Without them, the life and dignity of man will be meaningless. 3. Inalienable – Cannot be rightfully taken away from a free individual. Cannot be given away or be forfeited. 4. Imprescriptible – Cannot be lost even if man fails to use or assert them, even by a long passage of time. 5. Indivisible – Not capable of being divided. Cannot be denied even when other rights have already been enjoyed. 6. Universal – It applies irrespective of one’s origin status, or condition or place where one lives. Rights can be enforced without national border. 7. Interdependent – The fulfillment or exercise of one cannot be had without the realization of the other.

Human Rights Principles: the dignity of man and human life is inviolable. From the dignity of man is derived the right of every person to free development of his personality. A legitimate state should exist to assure that in the discharge of the government functions, the dignity that is the birthright of every human being is duly safeguarded.

Classification of rights: 1. Natural rights – God-given rights, acknowledge by everybody to be morally good. Unwritte , but prevail as norms or the society. 2. Constitutional rights – Conferred and protected by the constitution and which cannot be modified or taken away by the law-making body. 3. Statutory Rights – Those rights which are provided by law promulgated by the law-making body. May be abolished by the body that created them.

SOURCES AND FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS LAW The 1987 Constitutions – The constitutions itself is a source, and not only the bill of rights. > The 1987 constitution is the basic source of human rights law in the phillippines . > As early as Biak na Bato, our forefathers are conscious about the rights of human beings. > A novel feature of the 1987 constitution is the independent constitutional office of the commission of Human Rights, the first national human rights commission in the world. > The CHR is not a regular commission, not like the CoA or the civil service, etc. It is an independent commission which investigates on human rights violations and establishes programs of education and information to enhance respect for the primacy of human rights. > This Constitution is sometimes called as ‘’Human Rights Constitution’’. > The 1987 Constitution is seventh Constitution drafted by Filipinos.

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS Bill of Rights in the 1987 constitution – The bill of Rights is a regular fixture in all Philipine Constitution, except in the Biak na Bato Constitutions of 1897. 1935 Constitution, 1973 Constitution, 1986 Freedom Constitution – Bill of Rights 1943 Constitution – Duties and Rights of the Citizens. 1899 Malolos Constitution – The Filipinos and their National and Individual Rights. Bill of Rights – An enumeration of civil and political rights that are self-executing. It also serves as a restriction upon the powers of the powers of the state in order to preserve constitutional harmony and stability. > Father Joaquin Bernas , SJ – The Bill of Rights is to declare some forbidden zones in the private sphere inaccessible to any power holder.

HUMAN RIGHTS Those rights which are inherent in our nature and without which, we cannot live as human beings. It allows us to develop and use our human qualities, intelligence, talents and conscience and to satisfy our spiritual and other needs.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE Restorative Justice is a process through which remorseful offenders accept responsibility for their misconduct, particularly to their victims and to the community. •It creates obligation to make things right through proactive involvement of victims, ownership of the offender of the crime and the community in search for solutions which promote repair, reconciliation, and reassurance.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE Thus, the restorative justice process is actively participated in by the victim, the offender, and/or any individual or community member affected by the crime to resolve conflicts resulting from the criminal offense, often with the help of a fair and impartial third party.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AS A REHABILITATION PROGRAM IN PPA? ·Reintegration of the offenders to the social mainstream and encouraging them to assume active responsibility for the injuries inflicted to the victims; ·Proactive involvement of the community to support and assist in the rehabilitation of victims and offenders; ·Attention to the needs of the victims, survivors and other persons affected by the crime as participating stakeholders in the criminal justice system, rather than mere objects or passive recipients of services of intervention that may be unwanted, inappropriate or ineffective; ·Healing the effects of the crime or wrongdoing suffered by the respective stakeholders; and ·Prevention of further commission of crime and delinquency

HOW IS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IMPLEMENTED IN PPA? DURING THE INVESTIGATION STAGE •Information such as victims’ version of the offense, effect of victimization to their lives, families, future, and plans, and victims’ appreciation on how the damage/harm inflicted by the crime can be repaired and healed are gathered to serve as input in the post-sentence investigation or pre-parole/executive clemency investigation reports prepared by the investigating officer (PPA) to be submitted to the Court respectively. These data are vital in the conduct of restorative justice processes during the supervision phase.

HOW IS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IMPLEMENTED IN PPA? DURING THE SUPERVISION STAGE Restorative Justice Program is a part of the rehabilitation of the client which is incorporated in the client’s Supervision Treatment Plan (STP). In applying the various restorative justice processes for the client’s rehabilitation, the supervising officer observes the following points: •The parties are brought within the program out of their own volition. Parties have the right to seek legal advice before and after the restorative justice process. •Before agreeing to participate in the restorative justice process, the parties are fully informed of their rights , the nature of the process, and the possible consequences of their decision.

DURING THE SUPERVISION STAGE Neither the victim nor the offender is induced by unfair means to participate in restorative justice processes or outcomes. •Discussion in restorative justice processes should be highly confidential and should not be disclosed subsequently, except with the consent of the parties , and should not be used against the parties involved. • Where no agreement can be made between the parties, the case is withdrawn from the restorative justice process; and •In the event agreement is reached by parties, it is put in writing to give substance/essence to the agreement . The failure to implement any provision of the agreement made in the course of the restorative justice process is a basis for the withdrawal of the case from the program.

PEACEMAKING ENCOUNTER (Restorative Justice Model Applied in PPA) As a community-based decision model, the Agency Peacemaking Encounter is being implemented through the following processes:

VICTIM/OFFENDER MEDIATION  INTERESTED VICTIM HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET FACE-TO-FACE HIS/HER O FFENDER  SECURED AND STRUCTURED SETTING  TRAINED MEDIATOR CONFERENCING  PEOPLE MOST AFFECTED BY THE CRIME  VICITM, OFFENDER, AND THEIR FAMILIES, AFFECTED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY CIRCLE OF SUPPORT  clients (undergoing community-based correction) , the VPAs, SELECTED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY

OUTCOMES OR INTERVENTIONS WHICH CAN BE AGREED UPON DURING THE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PROCESS? A. Restitution (core” of victim’s right) Restitution is a process upon which the offender accepts accountability for the financial and/or non-financial losses he/she may have caused to the victim. B. Community Work Service Community Work Service, whether imposed as a condition of offender’s conditional liberty or integral part of his treatment plan , should be purposely motivated to make the offender realize that he/she incurred an obligation to make things right.

DIFFERENT THERAPEUTIC & TREATMENT MODELS

Therapeutic Community Modality Program(TCMP) The mandate of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) is both safekeeping and development of inmates . The thrust of the Directorate for Inmates Welfare and Development is to devise programs for inmate development to prepare them for their eventual reintegration into the mainstream of society.

Therapeutic Community Modality Program(TCMP) 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. 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

TCMP IN THE BJMP: BACKGROUND In the BJMP, Therapeutic Community Modality Program (TCMP) was introduced in 1998 when a group of personnel underwent six (6) week live-in trainer’s training under the DAYTOP International trainers sponsored by the US State Department. From then on, several 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.

TCMP IN THE BJMP: BACKGROUND 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.

PARTICIPANTS OF THE TCMP CONDUCTS “ MORNING MEETING ” Morning Meeting is a daily ritual that starts the day in a TC facility. It is attended by the whole community and lasts for an hour. It commences with the Opening Prayer, Singing of the Philippine National Anthem, and the recitation of the TC Philosophy.

PARTICIPANTS AND FACILITATORS RECITE THE TC PHILOSOPHY AS PART OF THE MORNING MEETING I am here because there us no refuge finally, from myself. Until I confront myself in the 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 neither myself nor any other, I will be alone. Where else but in our common ground I can see such a mirror? Here, together, I can at last appear clearly to myself, not as giant of my dreams nor the dwarf of my fears, but as a person , part of a 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.

THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY PROGRAM BY THE BUREAU OF CORRECTIONS (BUCOR) The Therapeutic Community (TC) Program represents an effective, highly structured environment with defined boundaries, both moral and ethical. The primary goal is to foster personal growth . This is accomplished by re-shaping an individual’s behavior and attitudes through the inmate’s community working together to help themselves and each other, restoring self-confidence, and preparing them for their re-integration into their families and friends as productive members of the community. Patterned after Daytop Therapeutic Center, New York which is the base of the Therapeutic Community movement in the world , the BuCor TC program was adopted as part of the Bureau's holistic approach towards  inmate rehabilitation . It is implemented primarily but not limited to drug dependents .

The major tools of the BST, such as the Talk to, Pull-up, Dealt with, Haircut, Learning Experience, General Meeting and Expulsion were developed as a means to correct behaviors of the residents that violated the TC norms.

TALK TO A “Talk To ” is an outright done by any member of the TC community to another member who has done a minor infraction but is not aware of it. During a “Talk To”, the resident is made aware of his/her negative behavior and the results it may have on others and the environment. “the Violator is known”

PULL-UP A Pull-up is done as a result of lack, missed or lapses in awareness in a resident. All members of the community are responsible to pull-up minor infractions done by peers . It encourages honesty , demeanor awareness and owning up to one's mistakes. This is done when violator is unknown and must be validated first prior to bringing up in the Morning Meeting. Elaboration (must be explained well the rectification of faults) Affirmations “the violator is not known”

DEALTH WITH Dealth With is done when negative behaviors or infractions to the House Rules/ Norms are done for the second time of the same offense by a resident. A panel of three (3) composed of a senior resident , peer and a friend are tasked to deliver a serious and stern reprimand to the subjected resident

Although the tool does not strictly require the presence of a staff, to attain its purpose, the staff should monitor its conduct to ensure that the panel assigned to the task really acted appropriately. It is done privately in a room or an area with no other else hearing the conversation.

HAIRCUT Haircut is done when negative behaviors or infractions to the House Rules/Norms in same offense are done for the third time or more or for first time grave offenses. It is a carefully planned and structured verbal reprimand given by the staff with four other residents- Senior Resident, Peer, Big Brother, and Department head The staff or peer who booked the haircut should not be part of the team so as to avoid bias or subjectivity. Before a resident be subjected to Haircut, his/ her infraction must be first investigated , discussed and decided by the Disciplinary Board (Book II, Rule 2, Section 4 of the BJMP Manual. Sanction/ Learning Experience that has been decided upon by the jail Disciplinary Board and the TCMP staff will be imposed after the Haircut.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE A Learning Experience (LE) is an action or activity given to a resident who was subjected to Haircut or General Meeting who did an infraction to correct or modify a behavior . LE may be task-oriented, written task or peer interactions . Putting a person on LE for more than one (1) week may lessen the learning objective . Putting the person on LE for an extended period of time or sanctions that are far harsher than the offense or may deny him of the basic necessities may border on abuse and violation of human rights Senior resident - assigned to give a self-report (after 15 days) on how the resident who undergone LE carried out his responsibilities after the LE / resident’s condition (if further supervision is needed)

LEARNING EXPERIENCE Categories of Learning Experiences: a. Task-Oriented LE · Pots and Pans · Grounds and Landscaping · Cleaning and Maintenance · Time keeping (wake up calls, lights out calls) b. Written Tasks · Composition or essay · Reproduction of TCMP Materials c. Peer Interaction · Reading and reporting of topic · Announcements (Morning Meeting or House meeting) · Bans (sanctions to members who commit repeatedly infractions or violations to cardinal rules by prohibiting, disallowing, or limiting an activity or affiliation to a group )

Bans Bans are sanctions to members who commit repeatedly infractions or violation to the Cardinal Rules by prohibiting, disallowing or limiting an activity or affiliation to a group. Examples of Bans: Regulation of visiting privilege Banned from attending Entertainment and Recreational activities

GENERAL MEETING: A repeated breach to the Cardinal Rules and necessitates a General Meeting. Such issue should be discussed with the community to point out to the violator the negative effect of the behavior had on the community. These behaviors pose a threat to the community because they violate the established order and safety of the facility.

GENERAL MEETING: PROCEDURES IN GENERAL MEETING A General Meeting is called and led by a senior member of the staff , usually a Director of the facility. The Directo r sets the tone of the meeting and leads the community in an open expression of opinions and feelings regarding the offense brought out into the community . (how or what is extent of the problem must be assessed/ determine who are involved) As soon as the mood is set and the level of awareness of the community is raised, the leader calls for the violators to face the entire community. The leader encourages the community to express their feelings about the offense committed by the violators.

GENERAL MEETING: PROCEDURES IN GENERAL MEETING: After some members of the community have expressed their feelings, it is time for the violators to account for what they did, share their deepest feelings and verbalize what they learned from a mistake. After the violators made their statements and offer commitments, the Director will mark the closure of the issue and allow for processing of the events that transpired and provide appropriate emotional support to the violators who have just been subjected to intense emotional experience.

EXPULSION In extreme cases, when a resident is incorrigible and becomes a threat to the community (instigator, initiator of jail disturbances), the Director with the recommendation of the Disciplinary Board may transfer him/her to the nearest jail facility with an appropriate Court Order.
