I. ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic devastates the globe unexpectedly, leaving everyone unprepared. The effect is felt by captives in numerous nations across all continents. In order to reduce the effects of the epidemic in prisons, even well-equipped punishment systems confront formidable obstacles. Including intentional neglect, staff shortages, and other resources, the repercussions in prisons are more significant than ever. This has resulted in worse prison conditions, including inadequate sanitation, hygiene, and health care. This study aims to determine the lived experiences of persons deprived of liberty during the COVID-19 Pandemic in BJMP Tagaytay City Jail. The method of the investigation was a qualitative research approach involving ten persons deprived of liberty from BJMP Tagaytay City Jail. The researchers used guide questions based on the lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the persons deprived of liberty conducted by face-to-face in-depth interviews. This study found out that PDL feared the virus spreading throughout the country. They find coping with the new rules and regulations hard, and most PDL are concerned about their family’s safety. However, many were given new opportunities to ease their loneliness and earn some profits amidst the pandemic. Results suggested that physical security must be maintained for safety purposes shortly, an extension of E-Dalaw for the PDL, maintaining social distancing, and expanding the Livelihood program of the PDL.
