Correlation on Status and Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Program
of the Oriental Mindoro Provincial Jail
The first step in rehabilitation effort is to provide the basic needs of inmate as
human being. The other steps in the rehabilitation processes are the provision of work
programs, health care, education and skills training, recreation and sports, religious
guidance and behavior modification using the therapeutic community approach. Thus,
the study determined the correlation on the status and effectiveness of Rehabilitation
Program of the Oriental Mindoro Provincial Jail. The study employed descriptive-
correlation method to gather information about the present condition and to determine
whether variables were related to one another using self-prepared questionnaire. The
respondents of the study were the 60 inmates who were selected using purposive
random sampling. The study found out that Rehabilitation Program of Oriental Mindoro
Provincial Jail was known to the community because some people know what were the
activities of the inmates inside the Provincial Jail. The public lacks information
regarding the Rehabilitation Program of the Provincial Jail. Among the programs,
spiritual development was the best program inside the Oriental Mindoro Provincial Jail.
The status is related to the level of effectiveness of the Rehabilitation Program. Finally,
Oriental Mindoro Provincial Jail should continuously practice and improve the
Rehabilitation Program by considering good governance and effective public
administration. Information regarding the Rehabilitation Program should be
disseminated properly and widespread by organizing meetings, by providing flyers and
posting tarpaulins or banners for the private sectors, non-governmental organizations
and peoples organizations. They may be encouraged to contribute in maintaining the
vocational skill training, recreation, education, values formation and spiritual
development. A similar study should be conducted to other provincial jails in the country
to verify the findings of the study.

Oriental Mindoro 5205 Philippines Tel .: +639178156228 Fax: (+63) (43)
The first step in rehabilitation effort is to provide the basic needs of inmate as
human being. The other steps in the rehabilitation processes are the provision of work
programs, health care, education and skills training, recreation and sports, religious
guidance and behavior modification using the therapeutic community approach.
One of the primordial mandates of the Bureau of Corrections is the effective
rehabilitation of prisoners; thus, various programs are in place to address the
rehabilitation aspect in corrections.
The term "rehabilitation" entered the official jargon of corrections in the country
in 1955. This was when the Geneva Convention introduced the United Nations
Standards on the Treatment of Prisoners to which the country is a signatory. Considered
a breakthrough in protecting the rights of the incarcerated or those under the custody of
law, rehabilitation has become the principal goal of corrections. Rehabilitation was first
applied in medical practice. It came from the Latin word habilis -- literally, fit or
suitable. Its meaning was expanded to mean to restore to sound operation or to
reestablish the good reputation
Rehabilitation in correctional work is done through a combination of programs that
involves spiritual activities, educational courses (formal and informal), medical and
hygienic practices, cultural and recreational activities, productive work, counseling,
therapeutic and disciplinary measures. After the basic needs of an inmate are met, the
formal rehabilitation process involves the institutionalized programs such as inmate
work program, health care, education and skills training, recreation and sports, religious
guidance and behavior modification using the therapeutic community approach.
Inmates are considered to be the most depressed, deprived and disadvantaged
(DDD) individuals because their freedom is severely restricted in the prison. Though
they are paying a debt to society for their crimes, it does not mean that they will just be
confined in their cells doing nothing and living hopelessly. If the government offers
various programs and projects to the DEPED, Division of Calapan City people outside
the jail, why not include the inmates? They also have the right to be served well.
Hence, there is a need to conduct a study on the status and effectiveness of
Rehabilitation Program of Oriental Mindoro Provincial Jail.

METHODOLOGY
3.65 described as high extent. And having the lowest rank is evaluates inmate in every
program with mean score of 3.52 described as high extent.
This implies that the national standard assessment and satisfaction requirements
based on Bureau of correction qualification framework implemented by Oriental Mindoro
Provincial Jail was followed and complied by the jail personnel. Then it appears that all
of them can cope up with the current set up of competency jail personnel.

Table 1.2 presents the mean perception of all the detainee-respondents in terms
of rules and regulation.
Results recorded the overall mean score of 3.76 described as high extent. Based
on the table, the rules and regulation are clearly define marks greatly implication on
the respondents perception, this was indicated by the mean score of 3.90 which
described as high extent. Likewise the second, third, fourth and last items were also
described high extent as evidence by the mean score of 3.76, 3.75, 3.70 respectively.
Probably this was indication of respondent satisfaction on the rules and
regulation inside the provincial jail. Thus detainees may not all follow the rules and
regulation inside the jail but they will easily adopt and learn what rules and regulation is
all about.

Table 3 presents the correlation analysis between the status and level of
effectiveness of the Rehabilitation Program.
Based on the foregoing correlational analysis, the computer r-values of 0.282,
0.440, 0.510, 0.481, 0.353, 0.523, 0.483, 0.542, 0.514, 0.376, 0.341, 0.573, 0.455,
0.580 and 0.383 were greater than the critical r-value of 0.273 at 5% level of
significance with 54 degrees of freedom. There was a significant relationship between
the status and level of effectiveness of the Rehabilitation Program.
Findings imply that the program is properly managed. This may be attributed to
the willingness and cooperation of the respondents to the implementation of good
management and supervision in vocational skill training, recreation, education, values
formation and spiritual development.
The findings is best supported by the Social Change Theory by Durkheim and
Economic Development by Myrdal which states that economic development only occurs
