N2  - This study was conducted to compare the challenges encountered by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) personnel in the implementation of Welfare and Development Programs (WDP) for Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) in three city and municipal jails in Cavite namely General Trias City Jail, Trece Martires City Jail, and Dasmariñas City Jail. The study aimed to investigate the aspects of WDP such as educational and vocational training, mental health and behavioral support, spiritual and moral development and post-release integration, and to identify challenges in relation to management of the facility, resource allocation, personnel workload and behavior management. The descriptive-comparative research design was used. Structured survey questionnaires were given to 151 BJMP personnel of different ranks and positions from the selected jails. Descriptive statistics and comparative techniques were used to examine the similarities and variations in the difficulties that each facility's employees experienced. According to the study, BJMP staff members had a high belief in the value of basic education and supportive surroundings, as well as the efficacy of educational and vocational programs, mental health and behavioral assistance, and spiritual and moral growth. On the contrary, it was noted that there were challenges in linking the behavior modification programs, referrals to aftercare services, and vocational trainings to market needs. Despite the availability of enough space and safety, delays in facilities were a major challenge that led to poor implementation of the programs. This was a major challenge for staff management in the facilities. Limited resources, particularly financial resources, have been reported as affecting the scope and implementation of the programs. The staff managed to handle their duty well even though limited time posed some barriers to program planning and implementation. Behavior management was generally manageable, while disruption in behavior was a challenge
