AN ASSESSMENT ON THE STRICT IMPLEMENTATION ON THE SECURITY PROTOCOLS AT THE QUEZON CITY JAIL

Abstract

Ensuring security within correctional facilities is of paramount importance, particularly in densely populated urban regions where jails face unique obstacles. The Quezon City Jail, located in one of the most populous cities in the Philippines, exemplifies the difficulties associated with enforcing security protocols. As attention intensifies on the safety of inmates, the protection of staff, and the prevention of illicit activities, it becomes essential to evaluate the current security measures and explore potential enhancements. The researchers employed a descriptive research design to guarantee both validity and reliability. To ensure that each member of the population had an equal opportunity for selection, a simple random sampling technique was utilized, resulting in the selection of fifty (50) Jail Officers from Quezon City Jail as participants. A survey questionnaire was developed and distributed after obtaining permission for participation in the study. Following the collection and analysis of the data, conclusions were drawn, and recommendations were provided to address security concerns related to the implementation of security protocols at Quezon City Jail. The findings of the study titled "An Assessment of the Strict Implementation of Security Protocols at the Quezon City Jail" reveal that all participants expressed agreement with the research conducted. They provided evidence that the strict enforcement of security protocols is being carried out effectively. Additionally, the researchers have offered recommendations to further improve the security protocols. This study indicated that the participants expressed their agreement regarding the rigorous enforcement of security protocols at Quezon City Jail. Additionally, the study recommends that jail officers, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), and the National Government work together to uphold the highest standards in ensuring the safety and security of the facility.
