BuCor allows 4 more days of 'stay-in conjugal visits' of PDLs at Bilibid

Persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Muntinlupa City have been allowed “stay-in” visits from their loved ones during the holidays, the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) said on Monday, Dec. 26.
“In the spirit of Christmas, joy, and love, BuCor granted conjugal visits to PDLs in NBP, considering that visitation is an integral part of PDLs’ reformation and moral upliftment and to promote their general welfare and basic rights while in the custody of the bureau,” BuCor said in a statement.
There are only four days left for the “stay-in, conjugal visits” from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. -- Dec. 30, 2022 to Jan. 2, 2023,” it said.
“Those who enjoyed the Christmas stay-in visit (held from Dec. 23 to Dec. 26) shall no longer be allowed to avail of the New Year stay-in,” it stressed.
“Only the listed wife or CLW (common-law wife) shall be allowed to enjoy the stay-in privileges, except for those who are pregnant for seven (7) months and above,” it added.
At the same time, BuCor said that children ages three to 12 years old may be considered to visit provided that “it shall be limited to two (2) children per visitor” and that “they shall only be allowed until 4 pm only and shall not be allowed to stay-in overnight.”
BuCor also said:
“Only fully vaccinated visitors shall be allowed to visit, and those unvaccinated must present a negative Rapid Antigen Test taken at least 24 hours to the scheduled visit.
“One entry policy shall be observed - once the visitor exits the prison facility, she will no longer be allowed to re-enter to continue her stay-in.
“Visiting rights and privileges of PDL and/or his visitor who will be caught in possession of contraband and upon the involvement of PDL in any riots, commotions, and other forms of disturbances will be suspended indefinitely.
“Visitors who are caught using a different identity or involved in any fraudulent actions will be banned and suspended indefinitely.
