—— Abstract — This study determined the implementation of the Therapeutic Community Modality Program in Dipolog City Jail, in the province of Zamboanga del Norte. It utilized descriptive survey method using a validated and reliable questionnaire with 105 purposely selected respondents, comprising 85 PDLs and 20 jail officers. The data gathered were analyzed through statistical treatment such as frequency count, percentage computation, and weighted mean. The study revealed that, on the level of implementation, TCMP was very much implemented in Dipolog City Jail; hence, the city jail adheres to the mandate of the BJMP. It also revealed that behavior management and spiritual aspects were the most highly implemented TC rehabilitative approaches in the facility. Further, as to PDLs’ involvement in the program, it showed that they were very much involved and that they are exceptionally participative in all TC activities. Even though there were problems encountered during the implementation, it was also observed that they were not severe. The main implementers of TCMP, namely BJMP, BuCor and PPA should provide supplementary and innovative approaches that enrich the sustainability of the TCM program. It is also recommended that an Extension Program should be conducted by any institution that could boost the morale and well-being of the PDLs.
