The New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, is the main insular prison designed to house the prison population of the Philippines. It is maintained by the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) under the Department of Justice (DOJ). As of October 2022, the NBP housed 29,204 inmates, nearly five times its intended capacity of 6,345.
Since July 2023, the DOJ has suspended admitting new inmates to the prison to address overcrowding and prison gang wars. As such, BuCor Chief Gregorio Catapang Jr. has expressed plans to close down the prison by 2028 and convert it into a commercial hub, with an estimated 7,500 minimum- and medium-security inmates scheduled to be transferred to regional prisons in their respective hometowns and high-risk offenders to a supermax prison soon to open in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro.
