BACKGROUND/RATIONAlE
The Guiding Principles of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the
Treatment of Prisoners states, among others, that "Imprisonment and other measures which result in cutting off an offender from the outside world are afflictive by the very fact of taking from a person the right of self-determination by depriving him/her of his/her liberty. Therefore, the prison system shall not, except as incidental to justifiable segregation or the maintenance of discipline, aggravate the suffering inherent in such a situation". Hence, a well-planned and organized
reception and release of detainees is critical to achieving this.
Relatedty, the Bureau, in its quest for humane safekeeping and development of inmates, needs to institutionalize a feedback and referral mechanism in which stakeholders are notified of the status of the inmate under its custody and thereby make appropriate action, if necessary, in consonance with their respective mandate under the law. This mechanism, in short, creates a channel between the stakeholders with hope of speeding up the disposition of the inmate's cases, protect his/her rights, provide the necessary intervention and aid him/her in his{her reintegration into the mainstream of the society.
