This study investigated the experiences and transformational effects of education on Persons Deprived of Liberty at the Bureau of Jail and Management and Penology in Iligan City. The study utilized an exploratory research technique to investigate the impact of education on inmates' self-perceptions, objectives, and rehabilitation, along with the role of jail guards in facilitating learning inside the correctional setting. We got our data by doing semi-structured interviews with three PDLs and two correctional officers. The researchers then used Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis approach to look at the data. The results showed that education is a strong force for personal change, helping PDLs regain their self-esteem, hope, and a new sense of purpose in life. Learning changed their morals and gave them power, which helped them get ready to rejoin society successfully. Also, jail officers were particularly significant as instructors and encouragers, making the learning space safe and inviting. The study finds that education in prisons is more than just learning; it is a process of rehabilitation and change that helps people grow and change society.
