New Bilibid Prison (NBP) Superintendent Richard Schwarzkopf Jr. announced that the restoration of the visitation rights of inmates detained at the maximum security compound.

“The immediate families of the inmates are allowed to visit them from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday,” reports Perseus Echeminada in The Philippine Star.

Schwarzkopf pointed out: “The visitation right is exclusive to family members.”

It may be recalled that Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila de Lima suspended the visitation privileges following a grenade explosion that killed an inmate and wounded 19 others last Jan 8.

The report noted: “Schwarzkopt said activities of the inmates in the nine-hectare prison facility have returned to normal. He said leaders of several gangs at the maximum security compound are helping in the enforcement of jail regulations.”
