Abstract: Jails are facilities were persons in conflict with the law who are still awaiting trial or those serving sentences of three years or less are detained, and these are managed by the BJMP. This qualitative phenomenological study examined the experiences of ten Person. Liberty (PDL) in a Therapeutic Community Modality Program within the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) in Misamis Occidental. Using Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology, this study employed an in-depth interview design to collect firsthand data from participants. The instrument consisted of an interview guide, which was reviewed and approved by the adviser and panel members before administration. Data analysis involved bracketing, horizontalization, clustering, textural description, structural description, and textural-structural synthesis using NVivo software. The results revealed four themes: Initial Doubts and Adjustment to the Program, Self-Reflection and Confronting Past Behaviors, Building Positive Relationships and Social Support, and Personal Growth and Rehabilitation. The study’s findings highlight the importance of patience, perseverance, and self-reflection during the initial adjustment period, as well as the transformative potential of the program in facilitating personal growth and rehabilitation. The findings suggest that such programs can have a positive impact on individuals’ mental health, self-awareness, and rehabilitation outcomes. The study’s results also emphasize the importance of creating a supportive environment that fosters positive engagement with the program.
