facilities. Inmates take turns fetching water from pumps or bathroom faucets which only have water around two to four hours a day. In Dumaguete, participants shared the difficulty of accessing water, especially for the elderly: “Mao ra lagi nang pinaka-main problem, kanang tubig nga magsige alsa. Kaming mga edaran maglisud na sige alsa kay layo baya pud na (That’s the main problem, that you always need to fetch water. It’s hard for us elderly women to carry the pail of water all the time because the water source is far from here).” In Davao Penal Farm, participants relayed that they have to purchase water, and that previously they drank tap water but some detainees fell sick. One participant shared: “Ang inuming tubig kailangan pang bilhin. Kung wala kang income hindi ka makakainom. Sana malagyan kami ng drinking water (We have to purchase drinking water. If you don’t have money, you can’t drink. We hope they can install drinking water facilities for us).” Oftentimes, women deprived of liberty need to take advantage of the odd hours that water is available for bathing and doing their laundry. This is more challenging in cases where water is available only for a few hours a week; queues are long and inmates get into fights over water supply. Participants from Dumaguete shared, “Naay usahay muagas sa uska adlaw dayun dili napud muagi sa usa ka semana (There are times that water flows for only a day, and it will not flow for another week)”; “Three hours ra siya muagas sa hapon dayun one week na pud dili … ang slaughter dili muhatag namo (Water will flow for only three hours in the afternoon and after that it will not flow for one week, the slaughter[house] will not share water with us anymore)”; “Pila ng tubig ang haba (The queue for water is long)”; “Mag-away nami (We fight due to water shortage).” Bathrooms usually have one bathing area and one toilet. These are shared on average by about three cells per facility. Older women as well as those with ailments or disabilities have difficulty with hygiene-related chores involving fetching water so they rely on other inmates to help them. Some inmates fetch water for PhP2 a pail. During the height of water shortage in Manila, inmates were not spared. Water had to be rationed and one participant shared that an elderly woman slipped and was injured while fetching water. Moreover, bathing at odd hours is unbearable for those with chronic body aches since they have no means of warming the water they use. Women 18
