Abstract:Jails in the Philippines have established rehabilitation programs and services for persons deprived of liberty (PDLs). These activities are a means of PDLS’ reformation and preparation for their reintegration into society. The study assessed the level of adequacy and level of satisfaction of the PDLs on the rehabilitation programs and services of the Ilocos Sur Provincial Jail during the Calendar Year 2018. The study used the descriptive-correlational research method and involved 186 PDLs in the Ilocos Sur Provincial Jail. Data were gathered through a questionnaire checklist and were analyzed using statistical tools such as frequency and percentage, mean and simple linear correlation analysis. Results showed that the rehabilitation programs and services of the facility were very adequate (x =2.96), and the respondents’ level of satisfaction with these programs and activities was very high (x =3.80). The age of the respondents (r=.142) and the level of adequacy of the institution’s rehabilitation program and services (r=.450) are significantly related to their level of satisfaction with these programs and services. The researchers then recommend the following: 1) the facility should innovate in its delivery or implementation of rehabilitation programs and services to elicit consistent satisfaction from beneficiaries regardless of their personal characteristics; 2) the institution should conduct needs assessments regularly to be able to obtain information on the activities the beneficiaries are interested in; 3) the institution should continue its partnerships with academic institutions and other non-government organizations in its implementation of the rehabilitation programs and services, and 3) A similar study can be conducted the inclusion of the BJMPs in Ilocos Sur as the locale of the study and the ISPJ and BJMPs’ Personnel as respondents.
