EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 856 - CREATING
A PROVINCIAL/CITY COMMITTEE ON JUSTICE IN OTHER REGIONAL AREAS
WHEREAS,
the sub-standard living condition in Metro Manila jails caused by
congestion — overcrowding of inmates in prison cells also exists in
provincial/city jails of other regional areas;
WHEREAS, such congestion/overcrowding in local jails can be attributed
to slow disposition of cases and in certain instances, the inability of
those apprehended to post bail to secure their provisional liberty;
and
WHEREAS, the Metro Manila experience on the creation of a Local
Committee on Justice has shown the need to constitute a similar
Committee on Justice in every province/ensure the speedy disposition of
cases of detainees, particularly those involving the poor and indigent
ones, thus alleviating jail congestion and improving local jail
conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order the
creation of a Provincial/City Committee on Justice in every
province/city in other regions of the country.
