MANILA - Inmates are paying as much as P2 million so they could stay at the New Bilibid Prison Hospital where their movements are less restricted, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said Tuesday.

Lacson said he received reports that inmates would pay P200,000 to P2 million just to be confined at the hospital even if they don’t need hospitalization. On top of this fee, they also pay P30,000 to unscrupulous officials, he added.

“Hindi mangyayari iyan kung walang magse-certify na doctor. So we need to find out kung ano ang flow ng communication once an inmate, a PDL , would request confinement in the NBP hospital,” Lacson told reporters. According to Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, an inmate told him that drug transactions take place at the NBP Hospital.

The alleged scheme was uncovered as the Senate probed another controversy at the national penitentiary involving the sale of good conduct time allowance which could serve as an inmate’s ticket to early freedom.
