Final Research Paper
Introduction
This paper has been written to show the reader of what a life in prison can in fact do to a life; not
to mention lives. Even though the purpose of corrections is to deter the offender from
committing a crime again, it becomesa fight for survival in many cases for some offenders; as the
stronger inmates take angry advantage of the weaker and used by most. The reader will also see
that many modern prisons put forth efforts in education and rehabilitation so as to aid the
offender to be released back into society with fewer possibilities of recidivism.
There are many varying forms of incarceration within the correctional system of America. When
a convicted offender is court ordered to still have supervision yet still remains in society is
termed as Probation. This offender still must follow certain rules; such as if he had been found
guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol, he would not be allowed to consume alcohol
outside his home. For people who are in the process of legal proceedings, Jails are the local
facilities they are housed in until all proceedings are final and is always considered the
transitional facility. If an offender has been incarcerated for quite a period of time, Parole will
sometimes be offered. The convict is actually fulfilling the rest of their term out in society, only
there will be limitations and he will be under supervision (Charles, 2010).
Common sense would ask that if all prosecuted criminals were separated from our society; how

sentence. Of course a person could feel safer having that knowledge. Some offenders receive
the death penalty; however, they in most cases wait so long to fulfill their death sentence that
they end up serving an actual life sentence. Finally, inmates do make changes, become educated
while serving time and go through a rehabilitation program. They make a concentrated effort to
