The Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) is a women's prison located in F. Martinez Avenue, Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines. The prison is operated by the Bureau of Corrections.[2]
The prison first opened on a 18ha property on February 14, 1931. Previously, women inmates used to be held at the Old Bilibid Prison.[3]
When the Philippines used to execute death penalty convicts, female inmates condemned to death were held at CIW.[4] Ron Gluckman of Asiaweek described the women's death row as appearing like a secondary school.[5]
Before 2028, the now 15-hectare CIW will be closed and moved to a facility outside of Metro Manila, Gregorio Catapang Jr. announced on May 14, 2023. In January 2023, its population of inmates, at 3,297, exceeded the capacity, which was only 1,008.[6]
The Correctional Institution for Women has three different camps namely the Maximum Security Compound which consists of the Old and New Building, the Medium Security Camp and Minimum Security Camp.[1]
