Background

Quezon City Jail is located in Quezon City northeast of Manila, Philippines, in the National Capital Region (NCR). It reports to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). The prison was built in 1953 for 800 inmates but has since held 3,800 prisoners. In 2024, the prison began transferring inmates to a new 2.4-hectare facility in Barangay Payatas from its original premises in Barangay Kamuning.
