CAGAYAN de Oro City — Families and approved visitors of persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) in Northern Mindanao can now book jail visits using their mobile phones, sparing them from lining up early at jail facilities to secure a visiting schedule.
The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) has introduced its Online Dalaw Booking System, which allows visitors to schedule jail visits online before going to detention facilities.
The platform offers three visitation options: contact or face-to-face visits, non-contact visits, and electronic dalaw.
Visitors can access the system through https://odbs.bjmp.gov.ph.
BJMP-10 said the online booking platform is part of its digitalization efforts to make public services more accessible, convenient, and organized.
However, the agency has yet to announce how long the online booking system will remain in place.
The initiative is expected to reduce waiting time and make it easier for families and loved ones to maintain contact with PDLs.
