City jail logs zero heat incident amid El Niño
==========
There have been no reports of heat-related incidents in Cebu City Jail (CCJ) despite rising heat indices. Cebu City Councilor Phillip Zafra, who chairs the council’s committee on peace and order, stated that the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) has briefed him on the conditions of the jail facilities in the city. Overcrowding has been an issue in the facilities even before the El Niño phenomenon. The BJMP manages two jail facilities in Cebu City: the CCJ Male Dormitory and the CCJ Female Dormitory. Efforts have been made to reduce the effects of heat within jails, such as ensuring adequate water supply. The Department of Public Services and Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) are responsible for managing the water supply in these facilities. The heat index recorded in Cebu for the past two days reached 38 and 39 degrees Celsius, falling under the Extreme Caution category. Central Visayas has 36 congested jails with a total jail population of 19,126, far from the ideal capacity of 5,039. The CCJ alone is home to almost 9,000 persons deprived of liberty (PDLs). The ideal habitable floor area per inmate is 4.7 square meters and the maximum number of inmates per cell is 10.
