<\/strong>The\u00a0Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in Negros Occidental has intensified the campaign against contraband items inside the jail facilities.<\/p>\n<p>At the Negros Occidental District Jail (NODJ) in Bago City, the greyhound operation conducted Wednesday yielded various items, including improvised knives, mobile phones, and cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Inspector Castle Masip, jail warden of NODJ, said they regularly conduct \u00a0greyhound operation to ensure that no contraband, particularly illegal drugs and weapons, remain inside the jail facility.<\/p>\n<p>This is necessary in maintaining peace and order inside the jail, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Masip added that although they\u00a0 are not the proper authority to declare that NODJ is 100 percent drug-free, the management has\u00a0 worked \u201ctirelessly to fight illegal drugs inside the jail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not stop until the very tiny speck of illicit drugs shall be erased and terminated in this facility,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the NODJ, seven other jails in Negros Occidental conducted similar\u00a0 operations on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>These include the Metro Bacolod District Jail (MBDJ)-Male and Female Dormitories in Barangay Handumanan \u00a0and MBDJ-Special Intensive Care Area (SICA) in Barangay Taculing in Bacolod City as well as the \u00a0Talisay City Jail, Victorias City Jail,\u00a0 Cadiz City Jail and San Carlos City District Jail.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Senior Inspector Larry Fuentes, jail warden of MBDJ-SICA, which houses 716 inmates, said \u00a0this time, they did not\u00a0 recover hard drugs which he considers a \u00a0positive development.<\/p>\n<p>It is a result of the strict implementation of\u00a0 safety measures, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The simultaneous conduct of\u00a0 greyhound operations was part of the\u00a0 BJMP\u2019s Oplan Linis Piitan which aims to clear every jail facility from any contraband items, particularly prohibited drugs.<em><strong>(PNA)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BACOLOD CITY\u00a0\u2014 The\u00a0Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in Negros Occidental has
