There should be no more room for confusion on the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) law following the revision of its implementing rules and regulations (IRR), Malacañang said Tuesday.

Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said the revised IRR of Republic Act No. 10592 now include a “clear and categorical” provision that those charged with heinous crimes are exempted from the benefits of the law.

He noted that the IRR, previously issued by former Justice Secretary and now Senator Leila de Lima and former Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas in 2014, indicated that persons deprived of liberty charged with or convicted of heinous crimes are not excluded from the benefits of the GCTA.

The committees are tasked to assess, evaluate, and recommend to the BuCor director-general and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology chief the grant of GCTA benefits to qualified inmates.
