The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology of La Carlota City observed the 17th National Correctional Consciousness Week October 24-31, 2011. The celebration's theme, "Pagbabagong Buhay Abot-kamay Tuwid na Landas Ating Gabay" was depicted through the tindahan sa piitan which showcased lantern and paper crafts made by the inmates and displayed for sale, sports competition, talakayan or ugnayan wherein they raised questions and were answered by legal practitioners. Parlor games and an Inmates Night program were also part of the week-long affair, highlighted by the family and gift giving day.
SP member Julian "Diotay" Chiang was the guest speaker for the occasion. He encouraged the inmates to aspire for a changed life. He said that the jail is not intended to give difficult times, but to reform them. The lecture and discussion was attended by SP members Karen L. Aguirre, Annabelle Q. Bermudo, Rex R. Jalando-on, and Jaime Manuel H. Mariño, Atty. Ma. Concepcion A. Rivera of the RTC, Atty. Christopher M. Aplaon and Atty. Girlie M. Uy of the PAO, Julie Uy, CSWDO, and representatives from the PNP.
