Umaasa si Rep. Evelio R. Leonardia (Lone District, Bacolod City) na tatalakayin agad at aaprubahan ng 17th Congress ang panukala niyang “Prisoner Vocational Education Act of 2016.”
Sa ilalim ng House Bill 6501 (An Act Mandating All Penal Institutions to Implement a Vocational Education and Training Program for Prisoners and Appropriating Funds Therefor), bibigyan ng oportunidad ang mga lumayang presyo na makabalik sa lipunan bilang nagbago at produktibong mamamayan.
“Providing prisoners with education programs and vocational training helps keep them from returning to prison and improves their future job outlook,” ayon sa kanya. (Bert de Guzman)
