CEBU CITY, Philippines — The construction of additional penitentiaries in towns would be the long-term solution to decongest the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC),

CPDRC currently has 2,297 inmates or almost 700 more than its capacity of 1,610.

In August 2018, CPDRC has implemented a moratorium on the admission of more inmates in CPDRC when the number of inmates reached over 3,900. The Provincial Board on Monday, September 16, asked district representatives in Cebu to finance the construction of these jails in their areas of jurisdiction.
