TO: ALL JUDGES OF THE REGIONAL TRIAL COURTS, SHARI’A DISTRICT COURTS, METROPOLITAN TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS IN CITIES, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL COURTS AND SHARI’A CIRCUIT TRIAL COURTS SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF NATIONAL PRISONERS TO THE BUREAU OF CORRECTIONS IN MUNTINLUPA, METRO MANILA. It has come to the attention of the Supreme Court that some judges refuse to issue mittimuses for the transfer of prisoners sentenced to imprisonment for more than three [3] years to the Bureau of Corrections in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, for the reason that their cases are on appeal. For this purpose, prisoners detained at provincial and municipal jails and sentenced by lower courts to prison terms exceeding three [3] years, whether or not they have appealed, are considered national prisoners.
In order to decongest
provincial, city and municipal jails and to effect better control and
supervision
over national prisoners, all trial judges concerned are hereby directed
to issue the corresponding mittimuses or commitment orders of national
prisoners immediately after their conviction so that they may be
remitted
or transferred to the Bureau of Corrections in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila.
April 20, 1992.
