    San Ramon Prison: Group 4

    Uploaded by

    kimberly
    San Ramon Prison was established in 1870 in southern Zamboanga as the oldest penal facility in the Philippines. Originally built for political prisoners, the prison required agricultural work from inmates. It was destroyed during the Spanish-American War but rebuilt in 1907 under American administration as a prison and penal colony. Under General John Pershing, several buildings were constructed that could hold 600 prisoners, and the colony became self-sufficient through crops like coconuts. San Ramon Prison remains in operation today, though there have been proposals to relocate it.

    SAN RAMON PRISON AND PENAL FARM

    HISTORY OF SAN RAMON PRISON AND PENAL FARM


    According to historical accounts,the San Ramon Prison was
    established in southern Zamboanga on August 21,1870 through a
    royal decree promulgated in 1869.Established during the tenure of
    Governor General Ramon Blanco (whose patron saint the prison was
    named after), the facility was originally established for persons
    convicted of political crimes.
    Considered the oldest penal facility in the country, prisoners in San
    Ramon were required to do agricultural work.
    During the Spanish-American War in 1898, the prisoners in San
    Ramon were hastily released and the buildings destroyed.In 1907, the
    American administration re-established the prison farm. In 1912, Gen.
    John Pershing, chief executive of the Department of Mindanao and
    Sulu, classified the institution as a prison and penal colony and
    therein confined people sentenced by the courts under his
    jurisdiction. Under Pershings supervision, several buildings
    with a capacity for 600 prisoners were constructed. After several
    years, the colony became practically self supporting
    with 75,000 coconut trees, which were planted at the beginning of
    pershing's administration,contributing to the colony's self-sufficiency.
    Aside from cocconuts,rice,corn paaya and other crops werealso cultivated.
    On November 1, 1905, Reorganization Act No. 1407 was approved
    creating the Bureau of Prisons under the Departmen. of Commerce
    and Police, integrating the Old Bilibid Prison, San Ramon Penal
    Colony and Iwahig Penal. The Philippine Coconut Authority took over
    management of the coconut farm from San Ramon.
    In 1995, Congresswoman Maria Clara Lobregat proposed the transfer
    of San Ramon Prison to Bongiao town, in the mountainous area of
    Zamboanga, to give way to a special economic zone.
