READ YOUR WAY OUT: FROM ILIGAN TO THE WORLD STAGE 📢📰🗞️✉️

Iligan City, Philippines — The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Iligan City Jail–Male Dormitory proudly announces that its pioneering literacy initiative, “Read Your Way Out – Literacy as Liberation in Philippine Jails”, has been officially accepted for presentation at the 90th International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) 2026, to be held on 10–13 August 2026 in Busan, South Korea.

Developed under BJMP’s directive recognizing reading as a valid educational activity within the Time Allowance for Studying, Teaching, and Mentoring (TASTM) framework, the Read Your Way Out (RYWO) program empowers Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) to earn sentence reductions through structured reading. Within its first year, RYWO—an initiative mounted with the support of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and the National Library of the Philippines—achieved a 2,014% increase in monthly TASTM grantees, with dozens of PDLs released in the first three months of the project through accumulated reading credits. Beyond statistics, the program has reshaped jail culture—fostering patience, empathy, improved conduct, and resilience.

The poster, authored by JO3 Walter W Mainit Jr (Welfare and Development Section Chief and Jail Librarian) with co-author JO1 Trisha Carmie B Abrogar (Development Officer), will be showcased during the Congress’ Poster Exhibition. Delegates from around the world will engage with the project, which aligns with UNESCO’s lifelong learning principles and demonstrates how libraries—even behind bars—can power transformation.

“By restoring dignity and agency, RYWO proves that literacy is not only a pathway to knowledge but to freedom,” said JCINSP CARMELO A CORSAME, city jail warden. “This recognition affirms our commitment to education in custodial settings and global dialogue on humane rehabilitation.”

The IFLA WLIC 2026, themed “Libraries Powering Transformation”, will gather thousands of library and information professionals worldwide to explore innovative practices and future-oriented strategies. The inclusion of RYWO underscores the Philippines’ contribution to global correctional education and library advocacy.
