Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm
The prisoner who allegedly dictated the drug deal that led to the “misencounter” between the operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) last February in Quezon City has been “placed in isolation,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Tuesday, May 25.
DOJ Undersecretary Deo L. Marco said inmate Melvin Magallon, also known as Pawpaw, has been placed in isolation at the Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm (SPPF) in Occidental Mindoro where he is imprisoned.
“Naka-isolate sya sa isang cell. Mag-isa lang sya doon (He has been isolated. He is alone there),” said Marco who supervises the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) for the DOJ.
