SANTIAGO City — The detention facility here under warden Angelito de Laza is employing a holistic approach to strengthen reform initiatives and promote the inmates’ welfare.
De Laza, a devote Catholic, also enhances the spiritual well-being of the so-called persons deprived of liberty by carrying out various religious initiatives such as Sunday Mass and the Novena on Fridays.
The warden also underscores the relevance of a non-judgmental treatment of his wards, noting that they come from diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
We treat everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their situation,” he said. “Some may be victims of circumstance, while others may have made mistakes. Our role is to provide support and guidance, not to judge,” he added. Jessica M. Bacud
