"Corrections" refers to the system responsible for managing individuals who have been convicted of crimes. This system includes various facilities, such as prisons, jails, and rehabilitation centers, where offenders serve their sentences or receive treatment. The goal of corrections is not only to punish but also to rehabilitate individuals, helping them reintegrate into society as law-abiding citizens. In addition to confinement, corrections also involve community-based programs like probation and parole. These alternatives allow offenders to serve their sentences under supervision while living in their communities. By focusing on rehabilitation and support, the corrections system aims to reduce recidivism and promote public safety.
