Abstract:
This study aimed to explore the experiences of incarcerated women in female dormitory in Cebu City Jail on Therapeutic Community Modal-ities Program which specifically delved on the experiences, effects and aspirations of the informants in therapeutic community modality pro-grams. This qualitative phenomenological study used an interview guide to explore the experiences of ten incarcerated mothers in the female dormitory of Cebu City Jail participating in the Therapeutic Community Modalities Program. The Collaizzi approach was applied to analyze the data and identify cluster themes and emergent themes characterizing the studied phenomena. Based on the results and findings of the study, nine (9) emergent themes were identified. For the experiences of the in-formants on therapeutic community modality program the following themes are formulated namely: Submissive to Routine Positive Behav-ioral Approach, A Family is Found Inside Prison, Regrets Always Comes in the End and There is No Such Thing as Free. For the effects of thera-peutic community modality programs on the lives of the informants the following themes are formulated namely: Positive Behavioral Transfor-mation, Improved Incarcerated Mothers-Child Communication and their Children and Unwavering Faith induce Self-Reliance. For the aspi-rations of informants the following themes are formulated namely: A Systematize Motherhood Behind Bars Program and Reward System for Every Significant Deed. Therapeutic Community Modality Program indeed serves as fortress of reformation among incarcerated mothers. However, like any other in-tervention program, it has to be monitored and evaluated for possible improvement so that it can addressed the rehabilitation and reformation needs of incarcerated mothers.
