Jail + Money = Freedom!!!

Diokno is non- stop at pointing (middle?) fingers, if he’d be Edward scissor hands, I’m sure somebody’s cut already. He said he shouldn’t be the one to blame for the Leviste f*** up. that his office is not even near the prison gates, and also not the one who monitors the prisoners. Obviously Diokno, that’s why you sit behind a desk, you run the place and use your position to get someone to work for you. He keeps on washing his hands but the stench is still there. Point at one or two people and the whole country if you would but still it points back at you, Diokno.
Now here comes tita Miriam Defensor, as usual, “defending what she thinks is right” but this time I think she’s going too far. She approves of the pay to stay program. She said it would be a good help to rehabilitate and renovate the Bilibid prison. It would take P500 to P1000 to stay out of the congested area, in layman’s term, “outside prison”. Also accommodations would include a beautiful view of the lake, updated news papers, good food and bed, and also a mobile phone. “Doesn’t sound much of a prisoner to me” but if you really want to push it to its extent, you could get internet access and air-conditioning as well, of course for a higher price. Pretty much like what the Ampatuans availing right now.
The Commission on Human Right is against pay to stay. Who wouldn’t be? Why would you give the Ampatuan, Leviste and Jalosjos to name a few minimum security? Let’s cite one good example, Frank Chua “ real name Tsai Jung Shui” a convicted Taiwanese drug lord escaped the New Bilibid Prisons since 2004. it was said that before the escape, he was able to slip out of jail twice already, first was 1990 and second was at 2003, what’s funny is, no body noticed that Chua had escaped Bilibid for years now. His term carries a lifetime imprisonment but where is Chua? Dealing drugs again most probably and at the same time laughing at us, at how easy it is to get out of Bilibid. And even if he could not get out, the pay to stay program would provide him a mobile phone and internet access, enough to continue and manage his drug dealing empire.
Do we need this Pay to stay program? Would it be Just and Fair? While you guys are still pondering on this issue, frankly, I’d say NO. This wouldn’t help cut down crime rates, I guess the only time that would happened is when there’s a Pacquiao fight but think of it this way, money would never pay for the sins committed by those convicts. They should all be equally treated and most of all, no one should be above the law. What say you?
