Abstract:

The condition of the detainees in detention or in jails is a huge issue for correctional facilities across the nation. This study was conducted to assess the physical condition of detainees within the provincial prison in Mati City. The study aimed to determine if there was a significant relationship between the health condition and physical security of the detainees inside the Davao Oriental Provincial Jail. A descriptive research design was employed in this study. The target respondents were 60, but only 11 respondents were given. Results showed that most respondents were aged 21 to 49 years old, and there were 11 detainees, with one of them being female. Based on ethnicity, 7 were Mandaya, 3 were Visayans, and one was Tagalog. In terms of religion, 10 of them were Roman Catholic and only one was Baptist. In education attainment, 3 detainees were elementary level, 2 were college level, and 2 detainees had no education. For their marital status, 7 detainees were single, and the remaining 4 detainees were married. In conclusion, the researcher perceives that the jail management has succeeded to come out with good health and security for the prisoners of the provincial jail.
