Federal corrections

Federal corrections refer to the management and supervision of individuals convicted of crimes that violate federal laws in the United States. This system includes prisons, where offenders serve their sentences, and community supervision like parole and probation, which monitor offenders outside of prison. Federal corrections agencies focus on ensuring public safety, administering appropriate sentences, and providing rehabilitation programs to reduce reoffending. These facilities and supervision efforts are coordinated at the federal level, typically for crimes that cross state boundaries or involve federal jurisdiction, distinct from state or local correctional systems.
