    “SAN RAMON

    PRISON AND
    PENAL
    FARM”
    San Ramon Prison was established in southern
    Zamboanga on August 21, 1870, through a royal
    decree promulgated in 1869. Established during
    the tenure of Governor General Ramon Blanco
    (whose patron saint the prison was named
    after), the facility was originally established for
    persons convicted of political crimes.
    Considered the oldest penal facility in the
    country, prisoners in San Ramon were
    required to do agricultural work.
    The San Ramon Penal Farm, comprising an area
    of approximately 1,080 hectares (2750 acres),
    is located about fifteen miles (twenty-two
    kilometers) northwest of Zamboanga, the
    capital of the Moro Province.
    During the Spanish-American War in 1898, the prisoners in San Ramon were
    hastily released and the buildings were destroyed.
    In 1907, the American administration re- establishes the prison farm.
    In 1912, Den. John Pershing, chief executive of the Department of Mindanao
    and Sulu, classified the institution as a prison and penal colony and therein
    confined people sentenced by the courts under his jurisdiction.
    Under Pershing’s supervision, several buildings with a capacity for 600
    prisoners were constructed. After several years, the colony became practically
    self- supporting, with 75,000 coconut trees, which were planted at the
    beginning of Pershing’s administration, contributing the self-sufficiency. Aside
    from coconuts, rice, corn, papaya and other crops were also cultivated.
