“They cannot have flat irons in their cells. The inmates were probably just taunting the new inmate. But they don’t mean it,†the officer told reporters on Friday.
Some female inmates were heard yelling “handa na mga plantsa namin! (our flat irons are ready!)†shortly before Analiza arrived at the jail at around 3 p.m.
It was an apparent reference to Baran’s allegation that Analiza burned her face with a flat iron, among other abuses at the hand of the Marzans.
Cuaresma said Analiza was “quiet†and mostly kept to herself during her first night at the dormitory in Camp Karingal, Barangay Sikatuna Village, where she shares a cell with other women.
Heated arguments among female inmates happen but they hardly lead to violent physical confrontations, he said.
“We use a therapeutic modality here. Women have no gang affiliations,†he added.
ACCUSED EMPLOYERS SHOW UP: Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada and National Bureau of Investigation Director Nonnatus Caesar Rojas listen to the statement of Analiza and Reynold Marzan who appeared Monday afternoon before the NBI. The couple was accused of physical abuse and illegal detention by their kasambahay Bonita Baran, whose case is also the subject of a Senate investigation. Due to the order of arrest issued by the Senate Committee on Labor, Employment and Human Resources Development for their non-appearance before the inquiries, Sen. Estrada requested the Department of Justice and NBI to turn over the couple to the Senate. The committee is set to conduct its last public hearing on the case on Wednesday. The couple through their legal counsel (not in photo) deny the accusation.
