The Senate Committees on Justice and Human rights, on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, and on Finance have released the committee report on the bill that seeks to establish a separate prison facility for those convicted of heinous crimes.

Fifteen senators have already signed Committee Report No. 5 for Senate Bill No. 1055, which is a consolidated version of the various bills that sought a separate detention facility for those convicted of high-level drug trafficking and other heinous crimes.

According to Sotto, the committee report would be part of the partial report of the Senate panel on its investigation into the controversy surrounding the Good Conduct Time Allowance law. The committee report was released ahead of the sixth hearing of the Justice and Human Rights committee into the GCTA issue and the anomalies hounding the New Bilibid Prison and the Bureau of Corrections .

The memorandum included former Calauan Laguna Mayor Antonio Sanchez who was convicted for the rape-slay of University of the Philippines Los Baños student Eileen Sarmenta and the murder of her friend Allan Gomez in 1993. The plan was canceled following the public outcry.
