THE LIFE IN JAIL: LIVED EXPERIENCES OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigated the lived experiences among Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) using phenomenological approach of qualitative research. Five PDL from Surigao City, Philippines were chosen as informants of the study based from the years of imprisonment. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews focusing on the informants’ personal experiences inside and outside the jail. Based on the analysis of data, 23 concepts were formulated from significant meaning units, and the concepts were categorized into five propositions. From these categories, 4 themes emerged: Connections, Self-reflection, Difficulties and Challenges, and Adapting for survival. The findings of this study provide an important foundation from which to increase public awareness and to understand the experiences among PDL who went through change but faced difficulties and challenges inside and outside the jail. It involved the negative and positive experiences; negative because they experienced longing for their family, loneliness, and hardships especially as they encounter discrimination by the people outside, and positive because they experienced change inside the jail and learned from their mistakes in the past. Such a phenomenon at some point leads ex-convicts to self-reflect and change their lives into good examples. These experiences of PDL may influence and inspire the youth to avoid any crimes and help them realize that life inside the prison is not easy as they think. From these experiences, people can have an understanding and be aware of what would life be like inside the jail and may develop a more productive consciousness of one’s life.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
