I have been there many times. Still cant get my head round a prison without walls where you can talk to many of the inmates. Ask the driver to take you to the swimming area as it is gorgeous!

This place was 3rd in the list of our tour in Puerto Princesa. Our guide told us that the best time to go here is around 7 in the morning so that we could see the prisoners while plowing and harvesting rice crops, to bad we went their by 2pm. Instead we saw some prisoners taking a nap in their... More

The recreation hall must have been beautiful a long time ago. I wish they maintained or restored this remnant of American Colonial Architecture from the turn of the century.

Rode in by motorcycle after visiting the Palawan Wildlife center. Heck of a bumpy ride, had it rained we would have never made it out. Our experience was very pleasant as we were greeted by one of the inmates who acted as our imprompt tour guide. He informed us that he was from Manila, convicted of burglary and still had... More

This property is almost an hour drive from the city center but still worth the visit. Its so amazing to learn that prisoners here live in a homey atmosphere.

Maybe I did not go to the 'right' area of the prison, but I did not find where the prison-mates' shops and... More

During the city tour they drive you out to the outskirts of town to the prison without walls. You're not there for long and that's the only good thing about it. There's only one stop. They take you to this very old building where the prisoners have their gift shop. In there you will find a poor selection of souvenir... More

they have a cooperative shop where prisoners sell their handicrafts, so far the best prison area I've seen, low level prisoners are allowed to do farming and handicraft making, a must see place
