The Quezon City Jail has provided five computers, with software application Skype, enabling inmates to make voice and video calls, as well as chat with their loved ones.
Each inmate is allowed only five minutes of Skype use daily. Inmates should line up while waiting for his or her relatives or friends to be on-line before entry to the Internet room.
Moreover, inmates can use Skype only from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The "e-Dalaw" is a project of Quezon City Jail Warden Supt. Joseph T. Vela and Assistant Solicitor General Karl Miranda. Quezon City is the pilot jail of this project and will be introduced to other jail facilities in the country.
Vela said that relatives of inmates who want to avail themselves of Skype calls must make a request one week before the intended call and must send an email request at skypemeinjailqc@yahoo.com, indicate the time and date when call will be made, and full name of inmate to be called.
