Iligan City, Philippines | October 30, 2026 – Students from the College of Criminology of Iligan Medical Center College (IMCC) participated in an educational jail tour at the Iligan City Jail-Male Dormitory, providing them with valuable firsthand exposure to correctional administration and jail management.

The educational visit served as an opportunity for future criminologists to deepen their understanding of the corrections pillar of the criminal justice system. During the tour, students were introduced to various aspects of custodial operations, including jail security measures, inmate management procedures, rehabilitation programs, and the day-to-day responsibilities of correctional personnel.

Through direct observation and interaction with jail officials, the students gained practical insights into the vital role of correctional institutions in promoting public safety, maintaining order, and supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration of persons deprived of liberty into society.

The activity also enabled students to connect theoretical concepts learned in the classroom with real-world practices. By witnessing actual correctional operations, they developed a broader appreciation for the professionalism, discipline, and commitment required of practitioners in the field of criminal justice.

Aligned with the College’s mission of producing competent and service-oriented criminology professionals, the educational jail tour reinforced the values of public service, ethical responsibility, and restorative justice. Such experiential learning opportunities play a significant role in preparing students for future careers in law enforcement, corrections, public safety, and related fields.

The College of Criminology extends its appreciation to the Iligan City Jail-Male Dormitory for facilitating this meaningful learning experience and for contributing to the professional development of future criminologists.
