One inmate gets his hair cut by another inmate inside the crowded Quezon City Jail as others watch on
With their arms draped over the bars of their cell, a group of inmates keep a steady gaze on something happening out of sight
The prison was built six decades ago and houses prisoners whose cases are pending, according to the Inquirer.
The images show the men in their day-to-day life, from bathing themselves to cooking their food and exercising in close, cramped conditions.
Wearing their regulation yellow shirts, they also participate in group dancing contests, taking over the concrete basketball court and the walkway above.
One former inmate at the Quezon City jail returned to the prison after studying criminal justice at the Southern Illinois University in the United States.Raymund Narag says he was 20 when he was accused of a crime he did not commit, the murder of a young man in the Philippines, according to the GMA Network.
Mr Narag served seven years, where he said he stayed in a cell with 30 other men instead of the intended five and lived off a diet of dried fish that he says barely sustained him.
In his book ‘Freedom and Death Inside the Jail’, Dr Narag details the horrendous living conditions the inmates are subjected to and the fear that consumed him.
