Philippines
Prisons in the Philippines are notoriously overcrowded, with inmates often living in cramped and unsanitary conditions. The lack of space and resources makes it difficult to provide adequate care and support for the prison population, leading to widespread health issues and limited access to educational programs.
Despite these challenges, there have been efforts to improve the conditions in Philippine prisons, with some facilities introducing vocational training programs and other initiatives aimed at rehabilitation. However, the overcrowding and lack of resources remain significant barriers to meaningful reform, leaving many inmates to endure harsh conditions.
