The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) conducted on Friday a seminar workshop on Republic Act 10592, also known as the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) Law, preparatory to the implementation of the fiat’s revised implementing rules and regulations.
Justice Undersecretary Margarita Gutierrez, in her welcome remarks, said the initiative “reflects the unwavering commitment of the Justice department under the leadership of Secretary Crispin Jesus Remulla to delivering compassionate and restorative justice for persons deprived of liberty.”
“This is the moment when the DOJ, in close collaboration with the Bureau of
Corrections, is not only refining laws but also bringing life into them. The revised GCTA IRR is a beacon of hope that offers a structured opportunity for the PDLs to reclaim their dignity, renew their purpose, and rebuild their lives,” Gutierrez said.
She added that the GCTA is far more than just a policy or a procedural framework. It is an opportunity for change, a chance for growth, and a chance for reintegration with the full recognition of the human dignity that should never be lost no matter past actions.
