Top 5 Thesis Topics on Conjugal Visits and Prison Reform in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Imagine being locked away for years. Stripped of routine. Freedom. Human touch. And then one day, they hand you back to society and expect you to function. No training. No therapy. No love. Just the memory of steel bars and silence. Would you be okay?

Here’s what’s really wrong. We say prisons are for rehabilitation. But we treat people like they don’t deserve love. Like they don’t deserve family. That is the real crime. And it’s been going on for decades. We want prisoners to change but we refuse to give them what makes people change: love, connection, belonging.

The Bureau of Corrections finally did something different. They built a conjugal facility. They didn’t spend public funds. It was donated. And now, Persons Deprived of Liberty can be reminded that they are more than their crime. That they are still husbands, wives, mothers, fathers. That love is still theirs.

Make this your thesis. Fight for a penal system that doesn’t just punish. One that heals.

Bestie, let’s stop pretending you’ve “got it covered.”

You’re here because:

• Your title keeps getting rejected

• You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

• You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.
