Abstract:
Correctional facility is a term that may be used to refer to a jail, prison, or other place
of incarceration by government officials. They serve to confine and rehabilitate
prisoners and may be classified as minimum, medium, or maximum security facilities,
or contain separate divisions for such categories of prisoners. The prisoners may
participate in educational and vocational programs as well as in paid industries
programs or a work release program.
Types of prison facility:
•Maximum security - prisons
•Medium security - correctional centre
•Minimum security - open jails
Prison without correctional facility avoids developing normal personalities that could
be accepted by the society and gives confidence to the prisoners when free. In
most cases men come out of prison worse than when they entered.
Hence, the interaction amongst inmates and their contribution is essential for the
effective management of prisons.
