 During your visit inside the Aurora Provincial Jail, an ICRC-supported facility, we spoke with some inmates to give us a glimpse of how life is behind bars. Within overpopulation rates of 416 percent, overcrowding and its consequences are problems they had to deal with every day. Iba po talaga na salob kasi po kulub po yan. Yung hangin po, kulang ang sapina hangin kaya maenit po na di mamawari ang enit na na salob. Sa malatarima po namin mam, 23 inmates po kami, yung iba nagdadalawa-dalawa na lang po sila. Dito sa saig po mam, mas marami po yung karga. To ease overcrowding and in accordance with international prison standards, female inmates which make up less than 10 percent of the jail population have been housed in a separate dormitory starting February 2015. Nadipo, direct sohan po yung galing pung plowing. Kaya lang yung nagbabago naman siguro yung panang plowing. Tapos yung mga tubun na nga, medyo ka na rin po, kalumaya ka lumaan na rin. Diyong po naka-probleman nung. Naka-paggawa na po sinang tanke. Malaki pungkakulangan sa tubig po rami dito sa jail kasi po lalo na po sa mga padlakan. Maenit po sa loob. As part of ICRC's support, improvements were made with the jail's water supply system, including the construction of a concrete water tank for collection, electric pump, steel tanks and replacement of pipes. To improve sanitation conditions, septic tanks were also repaired and toilets in each cell were replaced. A new kitchen was also constructed where energy-efficient stoves and stoves and solar water heaters were introduced. Ang nangayong pae, naman nag-anong magusoka. Magunglutoforman na, madaling na po. Dati po o-peng, hindi hala namin natangtang tayong init po na gumukan po sa namin katawang dahil wala na po yung harang. Mas maganda po sa ngayon ka sa dati. Paginnagami solar, madalila po yung pumulok. Nagkatipit kami sa straws, nagkatipit kami sa kahoy. Nakaliktas po kami sa usok. Malaking tulon na po yan dahil, sa kanhawa no namin nagluluto. Nung una po, ang bintana ng punamin sa side, na yung side malit lang po. Pero dito po sa gawing inviscating area, wala po ang bintana kahit malit po yan ng araw. Dun sa kabila po, may rumpong malit na pahabaha po na mga 6 inch's o 7 inch's lang pa. Ay nung dinagdag po yan, yung maliwalas po ng kontin ay may hangin na po yung mga pasok. With the construction of new windows and enlargement of existing ones, ventilation inside the cells was greatly improved. Dito na namin dito na kwanditi ni mam.

Para kahit paano, yung maalala lang din po kami nanon dito. Aside from handicraft activities in the workshop, some inmates are also allowed to practice their skills inside the jail premises like this barber who provides services both to his fellow inmates and jail guards. As part of its work, the ICRC visits jails to ensure the humain treatment and living conditions of those detained. This is done by working with detention authorities, speaking privately with detainees, and when needed, it carries out assistance projects to improve detainees' access to water, sanitation, and healthcare. Thank you for watching.
