New Bilibid Prison, Prison complex in Muntinlupa, Philippines.

The New Bilibid Prison operates as the main penitentiary of the Philippines, spanning three compounds for maximum, medium, and minimum security levels.

Built in 1936 and opened in 1940, this facility replaced the original Bilibid Prison from Manila, serving as a prisoner-of-war camp during World War II.

The prison provides educational programs from elementary to university level, allowing inmates to pursue academic development during their sentences.

Located on a 447-hectare site, the facility currently houses over 29,000 inmates, exceeding its intended capacity of 6,345 people.

The prison grounds include a marketplace where inmates can purchase daily necessities and maintain a degree of commercial activity.
