The Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm - Palawan 1993 (I)
The Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm (est. 1904), located in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines, is a unique correctional facility known for its open-prison concept. Inmates are allowed to work on the vast 45,000-hectare land, engage in farming, fishing, and other trades.
The facility's rehabilitation program emphasizes work and reintegration into society. Inmates earn wages that can be used to support their families and save for their release.
We were able to visit the colony with an International Press Card.
Nowadays Iwahig has become a tourist attraction where visitors can interact with inmates, purchase handicrafts made by them, and witness the unique prison environment.
