TACLOBAN CITY – The municipal government of Hilongos, Leyte is planning to transfer the location of the sub-provincial jail located in the heart of their town, this was according to Hilongos Mayor Jose Emery Roble in an interview recently.
This plan was made last year said Roble, but it did not materialize immediately as there are process that needs to be done.
Among those are identifying the location where they will construct the new Leyte Sub-Provincial Jail and the preparation of papers for the swapping of properties between the municipal and the provincial governments.
A location about two kilometers away from the town proper was already pinpointed by the municipal government for the new site of the sub-provincial jail.
“Maybe by the end of this year we can implement the project,” Roble said.
Asked where they will get the funds in the construction of new facility for the sub-provincial jail, Roble said that there might be a counter parting scheme between the municipal government, provincial government and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP).
Roble added that it is just proper to transfer the location of the sub-provincial jail as it post danger to his constituents, this aside from the fact that the facility is now too crowded.
“Hindi magandang tingnan na ang sub-provincial jail ay nasa loob ng Hilongos, it is near our public market, the trial court and a Day Care Center, what if there’s a riot this will put people’s life in danger,” Roble said.
“This will create a bad impression for my town,” he added.
