Men in Uniform Inside Prison Walls The life of convicted military men inside the National Penitentiary

Abstract

The prison institution is a microcosm of the society. Inside prison, there are different groups that represent the larger part of the society. The military is one important part of the society for they are the ones who uphold peace and order and try to eradicate the possibility of any threats to life of an individual or the society itself. These military men are exposed to such dangers of the society. What happened when they make mistakes and are convicted and become the prisoners? As stated by the Constitution of the Philippines, everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. So these military men who are convicted and imprisoned should also be protected and treated like the other prisoners who enjoy certain prison rights. This is what the law provides but is not always observed.
