federal and state corrections

Federal and state corrections refer to the systems responsible for managing individuals who are convicted of crimes. Federal corrections handle cases involving violations of national laws, such as federal offenses, and are managed by federal agencies like the Bureau of Prisons. State corrections supervise offenders convicted of state laws, including crimes like robbery or assault, and are operated by state departments of correction. Both systems oversee prisons, parole, and rehabilitation efforts to ensure public safety, but they differ in jurisdiction, scope, and the laws their facilities enforce.
