Corrections management

Corrections management refers to the system and processes involved in overseeing individuals who have been convicted of crimes and are serving their sentences, either in prisons or through alternative programs like probation. It includes ensuring safety, rehabilitation, and reintegration into society by implementing policies and practices that govern facilities, staff, and inmate programs. The goal is to balance public safety, accountability for offenders, and support for their rehabilitation, ultimately reducing recidivism—meaning the likelihood of re-offending after release. Effective corrections management contributes to a safer community and helps offenders reintegrate successfully.
