Baseline Study on the Philippine Penal Conditions: Nurturing a Human Rights Based Approach to Penal Management - ································································································································································································································• V. Summary and Concludin2 remarks HIS GUIDEBOOK spells out the overall domains that penal managers (Detention Centers, Jails and Prisons) must adhere to in order to achieve Human Right-complaint facilities. This gu idebook must be considered a first step in determining agency-specific procedures that w ill institutiona lize efforts to adhere to Human Rights standards. Specifically, by devising mechanisms to imp rove inmate d assification, housing, programming, and documentation and assessment of inmate behaviors, previous ;xactices that rely on informal and unwritten rules will slowly be eradicated. T Facilities that adapt these HRBA to Penal Management must be documented and assessed . The ir experiences must be able to provide guidance on the validity and utility of the cla ims of this HRBA. Their experiences must be the ba sis for further fine-tuning the steps laid out in the guidebook. In the end, this guidebook aims to start a meaningful discussion on t he systemic and systematic nature of the Philippine Penal System. If Police and other law enforcement and security agencies, Jails, and Prison administrators and office rs come to a realization that their tasks and activities are intimately intertwined, and that they need their long-term and sustainable cooperation, then the guidebook has d one its primary objective.
