The Philippines arrested 90 Chinese nationals involved in gambling. Why do those arrested want to be lured back to the country? Are Philippine prisons bad?

The Philippines arrested 90 Chinese people involved in gambling. After being arrested by the Philippine police, they requested their home country, hoping that their home country could take them back to China to serve their sentences in Chinese prisons. Why don’t you want to serve time in a Philippine prison? This is mainly due to factors such as poor sanitary conditions, poor infrastructure, and inadequate prison management systems in Philippine prisons. 01 Poor sanitary environment

No matter what conditions people live in, environmental sanitation comes first. Because the health of the living environment is related to people's health. Even in a place like a prison, it must be clean and sanitary. Even a prisoner has the most basic human rights.

But prisons in the Philippines are not clean and hygienic at all, and prisons in the Philippines are often surrounded by old buildings such as dilapidated playgrounds or gymnasiums. There are no cleaning staff and no periodic disinfection and inspection equipment, which makes it easy for bacteria to breed in Philippine prisons. According to incomplete statistics, two to three inmates in Philippine prisons are infected with the disease every day, and at least one person dies. This is why Chinese personnel want to be taken back to serve their sentences.

02 The infrastructure is poor

Because the economic situation of the Philippines does not allow them to build many prisons. It is also said that the prison facilities under construction are not complete. Many prisoners often sleep in bathrooms or on the floor. There are very few lights inside the prison. Prisoners in the Philippines often buy candles privately, which also increases the fire hazard in Philippine prisons.

Prisoners have a lot of free time every day. Because there are not enough sports venues and equipment, prisoners often organize violent activities in prison. Most of the participants in these violent activities are forced, and most of them are newcomers who have just entered prison.

03 The management system is in place

We all know that the Philippines has three major characteristics: drug trafficking, poverty, and corruption. It is precisely because of the corruption in the Philippines that their country's laws are very imperfect, especially in the prison management system. Their prisons are used to detain prisoners who have violated Philippine laws.

Their prisons have no responsibility to teach them. This has also led to frequent resistance by local people in the Philippines. It is precisely because of the imperfect system in the Philippines that some people can sell drugs and set up gambling in the Philippines.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned shortcomings in Philippine prisons that the 90 arrested Chinese people asked the country for help. I hope the country can save them from that miserable place.
